So it's just plug and play?  Nothing else needs configured?  Must be a dodgy dvbt. Any other pilot aware units being built in Northern Ireland so I can test that as well.  Perhaps a Google map that users could drop a pin at airfields they are using pilotaware?

I have my unit up and running and am currently testing it on Skydemon.  I have not been able to get any ADS-B traffic.  I am using one of these

I ran the new software update today and get the following results (see attached image).  It says that the ADSB has failed.  Should this just be a plug and play usb stick or am i missing something here? 

I have one of these ordered
