Just finished installing the EchoUAT and Skyfix. Simple installation with few wires! Could not be easier...
BUT...man, there is always a but...I cannot get weather or traffic to show on Avare. I know others have had good luck with this, so I am hoping I am missing something in the settings or Avare I/O plugin.
I have a KT76A Transponder. Tablet is a Samsung Tab S2.
When I connect via WiFi to the ABS-B using the Avare external plugin, in the "connect to GPS/ADBS block" appears the code 43211 below the wifi icon. Not sure if this is the port number.
The device seems to connect. But I am not seeing a stream of data like I would when I pair the tablet to my XGPS160 via bluetooth. Now it just states connected. No data stream.
I am not getting any Traffic or Weather in flight. Nor is Avare using the WAAS GPS that comes with the Skyfix box as the GPS source (Not sure if it would, but that's the hope). I am having to use the internal GPS from the tablet. Not ideal due to battery drain.
As far as the Avare settings:
GPS Position source to: ALL
Use ADSB Weather is checked
Airmet/Sigment Type is checked ALL ADSB
Filter ADSB Traffic is set to 100000 since I was getting nothing on 1000. Still nada.
Show ADSB Call Signs is checked.
Show Game TFRs is checked.
In the Installation section of the Echo App its set to:
App (Wifi) Transponder Monitor
External GPS: (com2)
MFD: (com2)
Com Rate: 115200
Com2 Input Protocol: NMEA
Does any of this look off?
