New software
I got new EchoUAT transceiver software recently , 2.4.43, and have made 6 flights in the DFW area since with no disappearing targets yet. Certainly not an exhaustive sample, but a positive sign. Contact support and request it.

As info the EchoUAT transceiver software, 2.4.43 update is now on the UAvionics website. If you haven?t already asked for it (like me). Bob

Ok, thanks, just making sure.

I installed the v2.4.43 update; it showed the update progress to 100% and the Update success, device 2 restarting message, but when I rebooted to the status page, the ADS-B Version was blank. I flew and traffic and weather was working. Anyone else have this indication. Thanks Barry

The EchoUAT transceiver needs to be power cycled, not just re-booted, before the updated install version is shown correctly.
Updated mine today, but have not had a chance to fly the new software. |
About to pull the trigger on one of these units.
Did the firmware upgrade sort out the disappearing target issues? |

Hi it certainly did and works great!

Yes
All good after the update.

I'm torn. On one side I want to buy the EchoUAT even though I have IN with a Stratux because it's all in one unit and I could get rid of the Stratux.
On the other side I want to wait for their "skyBeaconX" https://uavionix.com/testing-sbx/ which would give me 1090 OUT at an affordable price and be able to fly to Canada or Mexico or anywhere outside of UAT constraints. Then I'm also betting on Canada and other countries bordering us like Mexico and the Bahamas to let American planes with UAT to fly into their countries (at least to places close to the borders). American tourist money is a great incentive for them to make exceptions for this to happen. For now since I don't fly into or through any airspace where I need ADS-B I'll just have to stay under 10,000 MSL until I make up my mind. |
UAvionix Echo and Garmin Pilot
On their website they make reference to foreflight and others. Will the Echo communicate with Garmin Pilot and show weather and traffic on my tablet? If so then I could get rid of the GDL-39.
Thanks |
Garmin has chosen not to work with the Uavionix products.
