Hi all - just wanted to share that starting today, Monday, December 3rd, we are now shipping the new SV-ADSB-470 Traffic and Weather receiver for SkyView. We've decided to release the SV-ADSB-470 module early, before the upcoming 5.0 firmware update, so that folks that want to get a head start on installation can. Some details:

The list price is $995, and is available directly from us (phone, web store, fax) as well as your favorite Dynon dealer.

This product only works in the US with the US FAA ADS-B system, as it receives on the US-only 978 MHz UAT frequency. It will not work for either traffic or weather in other countries.

There's some more info on the SV-ADSB-470 webpage.

The SV-ADSB-470 module requires a separate external antenna and coax cable which we do not sell; any antenna suitable for use with an aircraft transponder will work, as will UAT specific antennas. The SV-ADSB-470 antenna must not be placed within 2 feet of the transponder antenna.

Also note that for traffic reception, the SV-ADSB-470 requires the SkyView Mode-S transponder to be part of the SkyView system. Weather reception works without the Mode-S transponder.

Finally, as previously mentioned, the SV-ADSB-470 requires SkyView Version 5.0, which will not be released for several more weeks. We are releasing the hardware early so that customers can receive and install the module in time for the software release. A pre-installation guide to physically install the SV-ADSB-470 module is be available at http://docs.dynonavionics.com now. The software release will be announced on our Website.

Incidentally, I know you guys love screenshots. Here are the 3 different ways you'll be able to display weather/terrain in SkyView. It's a simple 3-way toggle switch (button 6, as seen in the screenshots):

Terrain Only:

A note to everyone out there, SkyView software 5.0 that supports the ADS-B receiver is now available for download on our web site.
