Hi All,
So I have my unit and fully tested it the other day, and it works great. Although, I have some observations.
I am using Oz Runways and I was flying at a regional AD, so not a lot of traffic around, but it certainly picked up the boys overhead. I didn't get any audible of visual warnings of traffic when they appeared, but I am not sure if that was because they were not going to conflict?? Not sure how that part of the system works.
The traffic appeared just like it would on OzRunways without ADSB. Same little icon. However, and here is what has me scratching my head....
You have to connect to the device with WiFi, which means the 4G data network is not operational. This means any of the OzRunways traffic (that is coming over 4G) is gone. It also means I was not able to look up METAR or FAC entry pages on the iPad. Now, I believe there is a setting somewhere in the iPad that allows for both WiFi Data and 4G Data to run at the same time, so I need to go searching.
If I can get that sorted, then the system is good. Works perfectly as described.
I have mine suctioned cupped to the fixed rear window of my Canopy and a lead runs down past the passenger and into the socket on my dashboard. As soon as the plane powers up, the unit powers up!
I will hopefully be up again this weekend, and will give it another run.
Cheers
John
