Where is the Dynon Skyview ADS-B Update?

[alexe]

On a short X-Country trip yesterday, I noticed that my SV-ADSB-470 receiver was no longer receiving traffic data. Skyview reverted to TIS info only sourced from the transponder. I suspect that the FAA (at least in the Los Angeles/Riverside/San Diego area) has made its promised changes to ignore the 'non compliant' mode S transponders.

What is the current status of the free Dynon software upgrade to enable SIL and SDA 1 reporting from the SV-XPNDR-261? Per Dynon, it was supposed to be released prior to the end of 2015. It looks like we need it now!

Thanks,
Alex

Er, wouldn't your question be better directed to Dynon on their SkyView forum...?!

You are probably right Jerry, but they monitor this forum as well. Also, I think the answer will be of interest to others in this forum that have the ADS-B hardware option.

The FAA told us the update was delayed until February, so we haven't released the update yet because we were planning on it along with a bunch of other things in about a week.

Last week we got a reports in the SFO area that TIS-B has gone offline, and then two today in SoCal. So either they implemented it early in that area or there is another issue. We contacted the FAA last week and will hopefully know every soon what is up.

You're just making them work harder, Alex - and on a Sunday...!

More things to play with coming soon for SkyView then.

Thanks for the quick reply Ian. Based on what I see, I'm pretty sure its not my ADS-B receiver acting up. Something has changed at the other end. Having only TIS is a real pain because all of its inherent problems. It's amazing how fast we get spoiled with resources like ADS-B :-) Please keep us posted on what the FAA comes back with and the progress of your software release.
Thanks again,
Alex

When is Dynon going to provide an update on the new ADS-B out GPS-2020?

It was originally scheduled for 4th Q 2015 and we haven't heard anything. I did write to Dynon direct and they could not provide any new info.

Getting the same problem in the Sacramento and foothill area. Skyview shows only TIS traffic and ghosting of my own aircraft. System showed perfect ADS-B until 2-3 weeks ago, now only TIS.

Not trying to hijack but were is the puck for those of us without a WAAS GPS? I have not been able to get an updated release date for that solution as well.

I'm not flying yet....but am very near the big event. My question is....are thoughts with Garmin g3x systems having the same issues?
