CSX West MI ATCS

Unread post by Big T »

For the users of the CSX West MI ATCS, what server settings are you using? I cannot get my computer to connect and display anything... I can watch the CN Flint sub all day, but nothing on CSX. Little help?

I have had the same issue. At this point, I've just started assuming that the servers for CSX are down and won't be coming back any time soon. If I want to see CSX, I just wait until the Flint Sub monitor shows something lined at Trowbridge, or I use Broadcastify with a list of station names. Usually works pretty well.

I can get it to work no problem. It is working right now. Occasionally the server-aggregator (or whatever it is called) seems to go down but usually shows back up in a few hours. But I'm not real great with the program or trouble shooting. I just don't have the experience most have yet. I have had a lot of help getting it set up by some of the other folks on this board.

I should also add, I think there is only coverage at Fox and ELmdale (occasionally Lake O).
There is no ATCS at all between Lake O and Ensel (no CTC even) .
You can see Trowbridge on the CN ATCS
No ATCS coverage at all between Trowbridge and Plymouth that I am aware of.
There really just isn't a lot to see but I do find the GRP-Lake O section really useful since I live just east of Lake O.

Is it still ATCS or have they converted to satellite?

ATCS is still radio-based from Seymour to EE Lake Odessa. All other Vader installs west of Seymour are on Satellite.
