Is there something I'm missing on adsbexchange? I go there and hit the 'U' icon, but I see way fewer planes than anyone else. The other day I was watching Monkey werx live stream, and where he saw 700+ I saw 200. I wasn't lagged or anything like that, because all the planes I saw on my screen were on his screen, too. He just had over 3x more visible than I did.
ETA: Ohai, first time poster over here. Been lurking for a while, didn't get around to making an account, then SSO hit.
I'm very much an ASBSExchange newb, so I may not have much expert advice to offer. I also noticed sometimes Monkey Werx was seeing much higher numbers than I was seeing.
Here is something you could look at - again, I'm a big ole newb, so take this with a grain of salt. Over on the right (on laptop), you should see 3 tabs: Search | Filter | Columns. Check your Filter and your Search to make sure you don't accidentally have your results limited in some way. You can clear those search results or filters by clicking the Reset button. Ask me how I know this... ;-)
Nope, this happens even if I open a fresh incognito window. Plus I get the exact same results in Brave, Brave w/ Tor window, and Tor browser. I don't get it. :-/
Just for giggles, I opened a fresh instance of ADSBExchange to see how the numbers looked and to compare my settings since I still have a lot to learn.
Interesting comparison - both screens show all the same settings (that I'm aware of - I just clicked through every clickable thing and compared what was toggled on and what was toggled off). Both focused on military craft only. Both focused over the continental US and surroundings. In one screen I have a current onscreen count of 1147. On the newer screen, my onscreen count is 253 and climbing slowly. Not sure what to make of that, but it's interesting to note.
And my apologies to all for hijacking the Q drop thread. Yay Q! Very happy to see some comms!

So weird. Please let me know if you figure out how you got the higher number!
