Best ADS-B receiver for WingX Pro
I am using WingX Pro with my IPad and was wondering what people are using for their ADS-B receiver. I contacted ForFlight to see if the Stratus II would work with both knowing the answer that it wouldn't but I thought I would try. I was hoping it would so if in the future I wanted to switch to ForFlight then I could use the one reciever. So any input would be good on what you are using. Thanks.

SkyRadar
Works like a champ using wifi..
Ove been using it with WingX for several years. Never a glitch. It works great with my GRT HXr also.. |
+1 for Skyradar. I have the D2 model, remote mounted with the antennas glued onto the fiberglass door posts (RV-10). (SMA connectors and coax from Amazon). Picks up lots of ground stations and in-flight aircraft; USB feed to GRT HX and WiFi to iPad running WingX or Skyradar's software. I got one factory refurbished for $500.
Now I just have to ante up the $$ to get ADSB-out so I can filter out "own ship" ghosts. |
Or was that "WingX"?

"Best" is relative ...

- Sensitivity? - Price? - Portability? - Functionality? There are several good ones out there. Have tested several. Currently using ... SkyRadar in the 6 (the first one I got working with GRT EFIS as well) iLevil 2 AW in the 8 DUAL 170 for portability |
My only experince is with skyradar which works great both with GRT and WingX. In fact that was my primary reason to move from Foreflight to WingX which proved to be a good move as I believe WingX has more capbabilities than foreflight.

I am using SkyguardTWX transceiver
Works great with WingX, and iFly ---- Skyguard TWX has in and out 978 and 1090. Their newest model even mines your transponder code so you don't have to enter in manually.

NavWorx just started shipping an inexpensive in/out unit. I have their original ads600b unit. It works great with AFS and WingX.

best all around good one.

I wouldn't have thought about skyrader but seems alot of perople are using it. I have looked a Levi too. But like I said, there are so many out ther that is cabtible with WingX that was not sure which would work best and wanted to see what others were using. |
If I was buying today, I'd get Navworx's experimental model. They claim legal in and out performance, so no need to spend $$ today for in, then replace it later with in/out... Just buy the whole package today.
Last time I looked, the entire setup for me would have run ~$1,300. |
