iFly GPS Forum

Warning, stupid question coming.

I've installed a uAvionix tailBeacon and having issues getting a PAPR report stating 'Your Performance Report request for... ...failed to generate a result.' I've troubleshoot and rewired and replace connectors and getting the same result.

Since AP and uAvionix are at SnF, they're not on phone support this week.

One question I have is, how do I get Stratux and tailBeacon to play nice, or how can I have the in of Stratux and the out of tailBeacon to show traffic.

The Stratux and tailBeacon are using different SSID's and iFly (I presume) will only connect to one network and one device.

Anyone using a Stratux and a 'out' device together? 

I don't know anything about the Tailbeacon except what I've read online in the last 5 minutes, but it looks to me like it's only an ADSB-out device, and it also looks to me like the only time you need to connect to its wi-fi is during the initial setup process (to turn on the transmit function, set your tail number and other plane details, and set what ADSB-in frequencies you receive).  That should be a one-time setup that's done on the ground, and then you don't ever have to connect to that wifi ever again (unless you ever need to change or repeat the initial setup for some reason).

So, have you properly done that, and confirmed that the settings "stick"?

If "yes", then it should just be doing its own thing and you shouldn't have to connect to its wifi anymore.  So go fly, connect your iFly device to the Stratux, and that's it.

From your description it sounds like that initial setup has not yet been properly performed.

pielit asked:  "But, But, But...isn't ADSB In and Out suppose to compliment or show 'more' and/or be able to use both together?"

Yes, but that has nothing to do with having both on the same wifi network.  It has to do with your Out device pinging an FAA tower and having it respond with messages that your In device can receive.  That's why one of the items you set in your Out device is what In frequencies you can receive, so the tower knows what traffic targets to re-send to you (the ones you can't get directly air-to-air from the targets themselves) and what frequency to send them on.
