Re: SkyRadar setup

Many SkyRadar users are not having any problems, and some are seeing this. We don't yet know why. Installing 3.0.11 is a shot in the dark; I'm not aware of any changes in that OS which will fix the problem but we must eliminate that possibility first. Our next logical step will be to "borrow" someones setup that is having this problem so we can reproduct and debug it in house. Ed will be working with you guys on figuring that out.

Thanks,
Walter

Re: SkyRadar setup

I went up for a quick flight at noon.

We are in southern Mn and I could get all of the weather, no winds aloft.

Nexrad showed some showers near duluth and eastern WS.

I also did not get any traffic alerts, but really did not expect them, especially at noon.

Re: SkyRadar setup

OS 3.0.11 fixed my problem with interfacing to SkyRadar. My s/n starts with MB030 and my old OS version was 3.0.0 so I leap-frogged the 3.0.10 version all together. So all I can say for sure is 3.0.11 works.

Re: SkyRadar setup

Just flashed OS 2.0.4 (I have sn MB9C) and SkyRadar unit now appears to connect to iFly correctly. Need to go flying to really check completely.

Thanks AP for the ability to connect SkyRadar to our iFly units!

Re: SkyRadar setup

My MB9C unit worked with the SkyRadar once I installed OS 2.0.4. The only problem I had was misleading feedback from the iFly when it was properly connected to the SkyRadar but not getting a good ADSB signal. Walter says they're working on improving that feedback to make it more useful.
