Anyone usinv the 700 with the skyradar D2 out here??Just received mine yesterday.......went for a short flight to test it out.......I fly out of KDNV in IL......seemed to work but it locked up the gps a couple oc times........i rebooted twice and after that seemed to work.............I was able to get tafs..metars....winds....I dont think I will see much traffic where i am at but the D2 was not that much more then the aingle band so i went for it........If you are using the 700 and the D2 any info you would like to pass my way would be great.....thanks......Greg N45364

Lowflyer150,

Please check out this post and thread. SkyRadar has changed the way traffic is reporting so we are doing some internal testing and may need a software update to "re-tune" or read the traffic.

Shane,

Took a short flight this am Sat. had plenty of showers in the area that should have showed on the 700 with the Skyradar D2 but the 700 showed nothing...... I talked to Alexea from Skyradar after landing and he said that there might need to be a software adjustment with the 700..... I get all of the tafs metars and text but no nexrad.... you sent me a msg about a post about the traffic but the link did not work so i was not able to read it..... does the same software adjustment fix the nexrad overlay too..... I hope I can get this up and running the way it is supposed too shortly, Skyradar did list the IFly units as compatible displays but I am having second thoughts now about the skyradar purchase......HELP !!! :-)

Thanks !! Greg

Greg,

Per our conversation earlier, I think your ADS-B was working. The NEXRAD will only show on the Weather Mode. If the Metars, TAFs, Winds and such were there and update (not left over from an online update), it is connected. We currently do not support showing the NEXRAD on the Sectional or Charts, only our base map.

Try going to the Weather Mode next time and see if you see some NEXRAD. You can also touch and hold the screen in order to choose "Animate NEXRAD" loop. I hope this helps.
