After upgrading my G430W software to provide position data for ADS-B, I would not receive ADS-B traffic on my SKYVIEW system. I got weather just fine and TIS traffic but no ADS-B traffic. So, after much research, trial and error I finally got it to work. Here is how I had to configure the equipment in order to get it to work:
Configure the G430W for AVIATION + output on the RS-232 port. DON'T SET IT FOR GARMIN ADS-B!
Configure the Dynon Transponder to receive AVIATION on the RS-232 port. DON'T SET IT FOR GARMIN ADS-B!
When the G430W/530W has a GPS lock, the Dynon transponder configuration page will show an active GPS. This means they are talking to each other and you are good to go.
I seems the Garmin ADS-B baud rate DYNON is looking for is 38K (Compatible with the new Garmin units) but the Garmin 430W/530W only outputs 9.8K so it doesn't work. The Aviation data format is a 9.8K baud rate so they now talk to each other.
On my test flight, the system displayed so much traffic it was incredible. I was even able to "see" an airplane in the pattern at my airport from almost 20miles away. When I got there it was a Grumman Tiger doing touch-n-go's with no ADSB capability just squawking 1200 in the pattern. NICE!
Morale of the story; unless you have the new Garmin units, DON'T USE GARMIN ADS-B FORMAT. I hope this helps others that might be stumped with this problem.
