Thank you for the explanation on how the 720 gps connects vs Ipad. The only thing that really matters is how it performs in my airplane. I hope to give it a test this week . My 720 has been energized for 7 hrs now and still hasn't locked in a gps position.

My primary purpose of my original post was to report that the Stratux does come with dual adsb frequency as well as to report that the Stratux worked well on both the 720 and the Ipad version of Ifly

I have used the Stratux Wi-Fi network to share flight plans between the 720, iPad, and Android phone in the past. I am now running the Stratux v1.01r1 version, and have difficulty getting reliable and repeatable plan sharing among the three devices. These three devices all share quickly in any direction when connected to my home Wi-Fi network, but not when connected to Stratux. if the plan is shared from the 720, it usually is received by the other two almost immediately, but not always. Sometimes one or the other will lag behind up to ten minutes. When I update the plan on the 720, I sometimes have to open and close the plan window to get the change sent to the others.

I can only originate a plan from the iPad or Android occasionaly, I get a communications error message most of the time, even though I had just shared one sucessfully from the 720 to them. I've tried closing ans restarting iFly, rebooting the devices, nothing seems to make a difference. It is rare that I can build a plan on either the iPad or the Android and get it shared with the other devices. I thought perhaps the Edimax Wi-Fi adapter in the R-Pi 2 might be flacky, so I purchased a R-Pi 3 and it is doing the same thing.

Is any one else having issues sharing via the Stratux network? More reliable sharing from the 720 to the others is the only consistant result so far, other than frustration. I'd like to be able to build/modify plans on the Android phone (always with me) and have it feed the other two.

I just purchased a 740 and have not been able to share flight plans that originate on my iPad, works fine on my home network. Can't get it to work in the cockpit with Stratux. My wingman has the same issue. I'm disappointed because my plan was to keep my iPad mini on my knee pad, make changes on the iPad and have it replicated to my panel mounted 740. Hopefully the Stratux and IFly techs can figure this out

I have also been unable to concurrently reliably connect IFly iPhone and IFly iPad to the Stratux. By that I mean that one will show NEXRAD updated while the other doesn't, etc. I'm guessing that it has something to do with the broadcast protocol Stratux is using.

Although my iPad says that it is connected to Stratux, and I can view the administrative web page (192.169.10.1) with it, it doesn't want to share flight plans or changes, and says no towers or disconnected on the ADS-B instrument while the 720 and the Android phone are working fine.

I just updated the iPad to 9.3.4 - will have to see if that makes a difference.

I presume that you have a Pi 2 with an external Wi-Fi? If yes, then there have been problems reported with the Flight Plan sharing and the EdiMax dongle. The two solutions are to either buy a TP Link WiFi dongle or upgrade to the Pi3, with its built-in Wi-Fi.
