I am considering purchasing a Rosetta. My questions are related to audible traffic alerts. I hope I can get some advice here.
I have a Lightspeed Zulu 3 headset, this is usually linked via Bluetooth to my iPad so that I can hear SkyDemon alerts.
1. How do the SkyDemon audible traffic alerts compare to the PAW audible alerts?
2. Will my Zulu 3 headset allow me to hear both the aux audio input from PAW and the Bluetooth audio from SkyDemon? If so, can I supress just the traffic audible alerts in SkyDemon? Do I need to do this to avoid duplicate alerts?
Aeroplane: Cessna 172P, equipped with a Trigg TT31 Mode S transponder. Audio panel does not have aux audio inputs, so will be relying on the Zulu 3 inputs alone.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Skyhawk
I use Zulu headsets with a 3.5mm cable running from PAW to the battery box so using the music in function.
This works well and it dims when there is ATC intervention.
I find the SD audio buzz buzz buzz loud enough in free air ie no connection to let me know when I am about to hit a mountain or bust airspace and the PAW voice alerts significantly better
Give this a try

Thank you for the reply Keith.
May I ask what tablet you use for SkyDemon? I am using an iPad Air 2 - which I have mounted on the RHS yoke. I have the iPad on maximum volume, however I can't really hear the alerts that well without the Bluetooth audio link.

iPad volume will have no effect. PAW does not pass audio to the tablet

Where can I get a 3.5mm jack cable from?

Loads on Ebay for not much money … this one from the guys who make the power cables used with the PAW
