I have just received this case and will fit the PAW unit when I get time.

Question in respect of the RTL-SDR Antenna; Can this be replaced by using the NooElec 1090Mhz antenna? Have seen on Amazon, that you can get different one's including a pair 1090 & 978 MHZ. I am not an expert on anything 'wigglyamp' or radio waves!

Well the power issue was/is with the battery connector on the battery. Have got it working now in my dining room and connects and working with SD ok.

Not sure on how to use the ATT20B and PAW together though, as ATT20B connects via GDL90 and PAW via FLARM on SD 

Hi Sean,

Thinking a bit more about this. If you are tight for space, the most effective way would be to run the SkyEcho as a 'blind' transmitter and connect SkyDemon to your PAW. That way you will be transmitting ADSB and P3i and receiving/displaying ADSB, P3i, Mode C and Mode S from your PAW, plus of course the 'potential' to integrate gliders later if you need to.

Regards

Peter

I have plenty of room, so space is not an issue, but agree with your post quoted above

You can return your SkyEcho and get a barometer fitted, I would fully recommend this

Hi Sean
I think you will need 2 devices to run side by side
You could connect from a PC and connect to the radar screen or traffic screen on PAW

Thanks Lee

Still playing, so have PAW connected to Tablet and ATT20B to phone. SD running on both and showing ALT difference of 10ft on first reading and 20ft on second reading. QNH1021 and not changed between readings. On the ATT20B 'APP' the Altitude/GPS was 220 on first reading and 215 on second reading.

Will do some testing over the next few weeks before trying in flight.

Hi Sean

I am very interested to hear your findings.
It appears there is a serious flaw regarding the altitude reporting for skyecho,
This is due to the fact it has no barometric sensor

Sean,

I presume you purchased it via the Amazon UK Marketplace? If so, what was the situation regarding UK Tax and Import Duty? I tried to find out whether these are covered by the quoted price but uAvionics  haven't replied to my enquiry.

Regards

Peter

No duties added on my delivery and unit arrived within a week from ordering.

Any more updates on this?
I have just got a PAW and started to look for a box to put the complete classic unit into.

Well I have just received the Echo ATT20B 

I currently have a power issue and think it is battery related, but hope to do some ground testing very soon and see how it integrates with PAW and SkyDemon.

I am not Transponder equipped.
