ANSWERED: Why Am I Not Waking Up Ground Stations?
See post #4 for updated information.

At least I presume I'm not. The TIS-B uplink box is usually X-d out on the 795 or G370. When not, I think I'm piggybacking but no way to confirm. Equipment is 370+73/GTN650/795/GDL39/GTX23ES. 650 & 23 firmware are up-to-date. I still get wrapped around the axle with this NextGen complication, so a few questions and details that might help clarify the situation.
Depending on locale, I've been within range of multiple ground stations, but the box is X-d. In the middle of Wyoming I can believe there's no traffic in the service volume to report (or not filtered out on board), but the X comes and goes in all sorts of high density traffic areas occasionally containing airliners, and on different days/time in my home area (Boise). Is this because there's no TIS-B traffic to report?
But...FIS-B seems to be working fine. I see wx, notams, etc, and UAT traffic.
The GTX23 manual requires only 232 Out (I'm using port 4 configured ADS-B) from the 650, but I have wired the 232 In line, configured "Off". Does this really neuter the In line, or should I physically cut it mayhaps it's screwing the Out port?
I've requested an FAA ADS-B performance report, but it's Sunday, and nothing back yet.
So, am I waking up grounds stations or not, and if not, why?
