EchoUAT Help Needed!
I live in Northern VA and I desperately need help configuring my installed EchoUAT ADS-B. I purchased the ?plug-and-play? EchoUAT ADS-B from Dallas Avionics and had it installed to replace my NAVWORX (which was working perfectly with my dual Advanced Flight Systems EFIS displays).
I?ve read each VAF forum post relating to the EchoUAT. I?ve read and re-read and re- read again the EchoUAT install and user manual. I?ve spoken with uAvionix support personnel (great people) and reviewed the firm?s posted FAQs. I?ve checked the installation to confirm that the unit is ?working? and that the antenna is not grounding to the airframe (per uAvionix support personnel advice). I?ve flown hours and hours of circle while trying different configurations only to thereafter receive dozens of ?failed? ADS-B performance reports. I don?t understand much of what I read or what tech-support personnel are asking and telling me. I?m certain the problem lies with me, not with the ADS-B equipment. I need knowledgeable help.
SO, I?M POSTING THIS IN HOPES THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE IS OR KNOWS OF SOMEONE WHO 1) REALLY KNOWS THE EchoUAT, 2) RESIDES LOCALLY OR WITHIN REASONABLE RV7 FLYING DISTANCE, AND 3) IS WILLING TO PROVIDE ME WITH SOME PLANE-SIDE ASSISTANCE SO THAT I CAN GET THIS THING DIALED IN AND WORKING ? AS I KNOW IT CAN.
Thank you in advance,
Robert
