Try contacting http://www.rojone.com.au/category/c-...oaxial-cables/ as mentioned by Kurt earlier in this thread, they may be able to help or advise on some options.

I've tried that. They have asked me for the dimensions of my cable but since then they didn't respond. Maybe I need to give them a call.
Today I have ordered an SBS-3. That's the new version of the ADS-B receiver from Kinetic Avionics. I hope to receive it soon. The receiver is also able to receive AIS messages from the ships. I think that's really cool as I am living in Coogee and then can see both planes and ships :-) If you guys are interested I can post a review about it after receiving the SBS-3. |

Hi Henning,
Please keep us updated on how you go. There is a few of us here in Sydney with ADS-B setups that would be keen to follow your progress and to help you out with your setup should you so desire. Cheers.

I gave Rojone a call and then I got a quote from them for fixing my cable. The quote was quite high and as I've ordered the SBS-3 from a shop in Germany (600AU$ including shipping costs, compared to 750AU$ from the Australian shop) I have just bought a new cable with connectors (same cable as I had before - Aircell 5) from that shop and it's now on the way to Australia together with the SBS-3.
I guess that it will arrive next week. I am really exited about it. The SBS-3 can decode the ADB-S signals standalone so that external software can be connected directly to it without running a decoder software like the RadarBox software or the Basestation software the one needed to have running for older versions of the SBS. Another question: Is it legal to use a scanner to receive the radio transmissions of planes and air traffic control? |

Hi all,
Ive been running my radarbox for about 6 month, im located in far west Sydney and run a Radar Rama antenna, Ive just purchased some LMR400 from rojone, henry was very helpfull. Im getting about 180nm range. Im on a pretty good peice of ground, only about 60mtr ASL but have about 324 degree view from the antenna with no obstructions. I put the poor distance down to my cell foil cable. Now I will get the LMR and should see a good range. I also learnt that 1090mhz does not like coax being inside metal tubing...so im replacing my riser with plastic! I look forward to sharing some info with you guys. I sure love my aviation.. |

Hi Brad, Let us know how you go with the LMR400 cable, it really improved my reception.

New Garmin ADS-B "Acadamy"
A somewhat grander name than the currently available content reflects (and US-centric in terms of the 2020 implementation references), but it could become a useful resource:

Hi Mr G, I certainly will mate, I really feel my Coax was letting me down, im hoping with the LMR it will give me better Nth and South reception...E & W isnt too bad atm.
With our 2 stations we should give some pretty good coverage! |

Brad, are you feeding PlanePlotter? If so what's your sharer code. Mine is "mb" located in the lower Hills area of Sydney.
