New AFS 5400 screens

I had new AFS5400 screens placed recently. Everything seems to be working nicely with the exception of the Nexrad display. Things that I have already checked:
Nexrad is turned on in the weather screen
Upper left corner “age box” that gives nexrad age is working
Nexrad is displayed on iPad thru AFS WiFi, so I know the screens are receiving it.
All other weather products are received and displayed.
Lower right traffic box previously said “No Radar”
Opened port 3 to adsb 115k, radar box now says OK in green.
Adsb is Uavionics Echo, with sky fix gps
Transponder is Garmin 327
GPS is Garmin GTN650
AP is Trutrak Vizion

PFD settings
Port 0 Af-pilot
Port 1 AVTN/FADC1
Port 2 Trfc/Icarus
Port 3 adsb 115k
Port 4 AFS arinc

Mfd with engine board
Port 0 Disabled
Port 1 AVTN/AVTN
Port 2 disabled
Port 3 adsb 115k
Port 4 disabled

Anyone with some advice, feel free to tell me
Any tech guys at AFS please feel free to post

Thanks

It sounds like a config issue. There are multiple wx sources, I suspect the config may be set to the wrong one.

The fastest way to get support from AFS is to drop them an email or give them a call. I've had them respond to email in off business hours.

You should should not have both screens configured for ADSB 115K, is it wired to the PFD or MFD?

You can also send us the system logs and we can see what is going on.
