I din't know which forum to put this in so I put it in 'general'. If there is a better place lemme know.
OK I have a SkyRadarD receiver and view on an iPad Mini with Wingx Pro.
Works great. Most of the time.
Displays the weather data nicely, except when it doesn't. To wit:
Headed back home from Triple Tree I'm flying along and have to divert 10 degrees for weather up ahead. Just as I request the deviation ATC comes back and says, "yeah we were going to advise or area of heavy precip ahead". I look at the ipad for confirmation and see, "nothing".
Now this works well and this was in an area I know they have coverage in (the Metar data was up to date in the area). So why would the WX not be shown?
This could be a software issue, a hardware issue, or an ADS-B broadcast issue. I'm leaning toward the latter as at other times it works just fine. This wasn't a delay issue as the weather in that area was persistent and it never showed any precip.
Just curious what other's experience has been.
