Thanks Peter
1090 and GPS were showing as “unavailable” because the PAW unit was at home with me, and the (remote) aerials and GPS mouse aren’t removable from my trike.
Anyway, the trick with iPhones is, as you noted, to have the hotspot page in settings open while searching for it on the network page on paw.local. Then it’ll connect. I had no idea that this was required! And, yes, the iPhone will connect to the PAW via the normal WiFi at the same time too, so I can have the radar display on my iPhone 11 and it also provide the data connection for the iGrid dongle. Then I’ve just got my (Wi-Fi only, no SIM) iPad running SkyDemon.
So back at the airfield today, with the unit back in the trike, all seems to be well…
