Re: ADS-B discovery

Shane,

When I tried it in the hanger last night it was inconsistent in yet another way, but it did give me a thoery. You mentioned that SkyRadar was tied to WIFI. So I checked the WIFI "port" settings, and low and behold, it was set to SkyRadar. NOTE: I did NOT set it to Skyradar, so it must have defaulted that way at with the 720 (I have an early one) or with one release or another.

Once I shut that off, it seems to work consistently, though I only tried a few reboots. I have included the pics of the data you asked for. Note the SkyRadar in the one photo.

Regards,
Neal

Re: ADS-B discovery

Neal,

Correct, the early 720s defaulted to SkyRadar. It was later in the OS and Software that we added the options. Keep trying it, I have a feeling that might solve the confusion. You could also turn the WiFi off when not using it, this can something even increase your GPS signal. Let us know how this works out for you. We'll keep looking into it here.
