We recently found out that SkyRadar changed the way they are reporting Traffic on the L, S and D models. The original development unit works with traffic, however they are reporting it differently now. We requested and just received a new SkyRadar unit to further develop and re-tune the traffic compatibility. Most other ADS-B receivers (NavWorx, Clarity, Stratus, etc.) support the GDL-90 and therefor we would support traffic for most of these receivers.
We will be looking into the new SkyRadar traffic protocol and develop accordingly. There may be a software update needed to address this issue. Thanks for your patience and understanding on this matter.
I don't know about that....(original units works with traffic).....I did see traffic a very long time ago a handful of times but it has been non-existent for as long as I can remember. I'm flying in the NE, often in and around NY Bravo airspace. Traffic on my 530 is lit up like a Christmas tree. ADSB from Skyradar / iFly....zero.
I assumed it was the ADSB system itself but after reading this I wonder if somehow traffic communication between the devices may have been affected along the way. It's strange because I picked up traffic on my early flights with the units and then it just stopped.
