I made a short video in italian language about it.

The project has sense in my opinion. The device works as intended. I hope this project will be successful in the future.
Wingbits has been great, particularly the WB200. I unfortunately the MGW310 I bought has a failed LNA and is earning next to nothing. I’m just keeping it online while I wait for the replacement from Helium or Hyfix. Also, if you do go with an MGW310, make sure you have 360 line of sight or stick with the WB200. If you have wingbits near a major airport, or even a little farther it has good range so will perform well even if you don’t have a complete 360 sight because it still manages to pick up higher aircraft on the 1090 frequency even if you are blocked by a building in one direction. MGW310 definitely make sure you have complete line of sight or you will not meet their performance limits to earn GEODNET, especially with their new litepaper that increased performance levels. And, for both, be very care with the antenna, not to bang it accidentally even slightly or as always mentioned handling the unit holding the antenna. Even though the outside fiberglass enclosure looks tough enough, the actual antenna inside is very delicate and not very well connected internally. I like what they are doing with the project and the Wingbits personnel have been responsive and continue to improve their GUI and keep you updated.
My MGW310 also failed in the first month. It’s been very frustrating waiting to hear when it’ll be replace but the project itself seems great. Unfortunately mine is on a pole 2 stories high and was not an easy project to complete especially since they want it to be sent back before they ship which means it’ll be an extra trip up several ladders to complete this. The dashboards and maps are fun to explore locally. I still think this project will be a success.
@leviaton I hear ya. What I can tell you is that received my replacement MGW310 a week or two ago. My initial point about GPS signal remains true, meaning 360 line of sight is critical for any GEODNET at least in my location. I can’t prove the GEODNET side performance just based on my unit being mounted higher on a 14th floor balcony of a 15 story building, I still average without looking at it all the time throughout the day is that you need at least 28 satellites on average or more to earn GEODNET. I’ve read some things on areas in the U.S. regardless of location, satellites are sometimes shutdown for several reasons.
But regardless, the replacement MGW310 has been working well back to my my original optimal standards on Wingbits, if not better. On that note, I know Hyfix has been producing/shipping to distributers like Helium as soon as they have a new batch to send. I may have gotten fortunate or just one of the earlier ones to submit a failure request alonf with my Wingbits ticket provinng the troubleshooting along with the Wingbits team. That may help too if you have a ticket just by chatting with Wingbits, even though it’s a bot to start, it’s an impressive bot. But eventually working through it with the bot help, the chat went to a direct representative (it is a little time consuming, and take screenshots of the graph1090 and tar1090 graphs before and after).
Important for others maybe not you since it seems you are just waiting at this point for a replacement. Because part of the troubleshooting is a factory reset, and all previous graphs are not stored unless you had a previous way of storing the information or just hanging on to old screenshots of the graphs, showing/proving when the unit failed. The built in LNA was my cause on Wingbits.
Whenever you do get your replacement, all I did was make sure the antenna base was hand tight along with the connector, and also take pictures of the internal connection pin of the antenna so you have a point of reference…because during troubleshooting on of my other issues is that the pin on the antenna was pushed in to far to make solid contact.
You can take the antenna apart although I don't recommend it. One, because it can make it worse and maybe void warranty unless instructed too by Wingbits/Hyfix. Second, it is very delicate and the only reason I did it and verified all the above was because I’m an aircraft mechanic and know how to be very careful with it and over-torquing issues.
That said, that is how I verified a pushes back pin and was able to correct that problem. I then still had the issue. Which essentially verified it was the known issue with the LNA’s. I’m almost to the one month point with the new unit and no issue yet, but as you mentioned, mine initial unit also failed at almost exactly one month. So will continue to monitor but good so far with the replacement.
@HeloFreak Glad to hear your experience was good. I think I am in the same boat where its just waiting on the batches to arrive. I found the technical support from Wingsbits was excellent and I had been shocked that it went from bot to person.
On the GEOD side of things I’ve been averaging 11-12 GEOD a day. Before the LNA failure I was in the top 10% for WINGS which is positive.
I had debated getting an external antenna to boost performance since I’ll be up on the roof yet again but I’ll probably settle with just adding a longer pole. I live up on a hill with houses behind me being higher up but still can view down into the town and other area’s from up high. So I think an extra 5-10 feet would be perfect. (also why I mull the additional antenna over)
For anyone wanting to get into the weeds I found the technical manual especially informative https://docs.wingbits.com/get-started/hardware-needed/theoretical-range-of-coverage
^^This section on how to find out your theoretical range to compare with real range helped show if something was in the way.
@leviaton I thought about the 5.5DB antenna but decided to stay with factory. I’m a replacement mgw310. It’s working and I have good range. a different antenna needs a little more hacking of connectors cables and mounts. so I’m staying stock The higher the better is all. Overall I don’t know how much more I’ll get to increase the numbers.

@leviaton this comes in multiple styles from material to length, just make sure then thread coarseness and width match the spec’s to the original. You can get creative using custom clamps to wood boards so you don’t have to drill into walls that you don’t want to damage (really not are to repair but i get it) angle mount you can make or buy. or saftey wire/zip tie the pole in place of you can’t hard mount it. Just depends on your needs. And you can always tape up the unused length to match a color scheme if desired to blend in. But I hat bought this previously, and now use it in for my WB200 in a different hex but will be getting another for my MGW310 hex. They are relatively, if not really cheap. You can get couplers and whatever else to extend out the side for either more support or mounting another device like a weather device.. But thread and width are import to note in the spec’s…I looked it up it’s on Hyfix’s manual for your verification….but it’s 5/8 inch coarse threaded in whatever length you need, and and cut to fit if you you a hack saw or hackzall. Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.
@HeloFreak Just as an update my miner arrived and was installed 20 days ago now. So it was down from Aug 31 all the way till Oct 16th
These are all great details, thank you guys. I have a fabricator crafting up a horizontal steel mount to put all of my projects on. The mast will have a Geodnet, Wing-bits, and eventually a Nubila Marco. I am curious how they will operate given their somewhat close proximity to each other.
I will post pictures in a dedicated thread to show the setup, I like providing ideas for others to follow. Hopefully it will be beneficial to others.
Thanks again!

I don’t want to be too harsh but I can’t help it. I still really like the project HOWEVER because of a faulty station MGW310. My first station was delayed in shipping because supposedly they had identified the problem with the stations and I was shipped the updated version, however mine still broke after about 30 days of usage. Then it took 30 days of troubleshooting/shipment out of the replacement so I lost 30 days of nearly 100% mining capacity on the WB side of the MGW310.
Because of the very first delay in shipping I lost the ability to claim the hex on location 1 with Geodnet so instead of having 2 MGW310’s I was forced to only have 1 MGW310 and 1 WB200.
With the recent announcements and token release on TGE I think their plan going forward will begin to increase my rating score but for now I’m sticking with the low value based on the issues I had in the beginning and how frustrating the troubleshooting process.
I purchased the Hyfix MGW310, I found it super simple to install and get up and running.
From unboxing to having the system up and running took under 15 minutes.
Installation on my roof was a breeze using the supplied hardware.
I would recommend that you upgrade your roof mounting solution if you live in an area with high winds.
There is currently a hardware issue that affects some units have a read of the following document and see if it effects you.

If you are going to install an aftermarket high gain antenna make sure you use AUX 1 port to connect it I used LMR 400 Coaxial Cable and remotely attached the ADS-B antenna to my tv antenna pole. This keeps the base station stable which helps you if you are mining Geodnet as well and live in a high wind area.
There are a whole host of online resources if you get stuck, but to be honest it was all very straight forward.
Love this project, the ability to future proff based on an ever growing demand for flying cars makes for a good case as to why these type of products are great investment for future generations. I believe it is a great learning tool for future entrepreneurs to get into the crypto space that is ever expanding.
A great project.
I am not a "missionary" for Wingbits, so I can express my personal feelings and assessments: an investment project from the preparation step, hardware deployment, data collection and providing data to the necessary parties.
If you are looking for passive income, or have a passion for aviation, or looking for information about flights in the sky, ... start learning about Wingbits, I think it will not disappoint you.
If you install data collection equipment for Wingbits, I can advise and support you, do not hesitate.

@vunguyen3008 Thanks for the option to contact you. I just purchased Wingbits and Geodnet, 2 of each. I do enjoy Aviation and working towards my pilots license. I’m waiting for my equipment to arrive.
I have my hexes already registered as well.
