General Discussion / Funke TRT800 ADSB out

« on: April 09, 2016, 01:06:09 pm »

I have successfully connected my Bendix King SkyMap IIIC to my Funke TRT800 transponder using a short length of screened cable setting the GPS output & the transponder input to 4800bd. With my local LAA inspector I carried out the checks using a Pilotaware unit to confirm the SIL & SDA were set to 0. I am using software ver. 5.2 on the transponder. I sent the Mod form off to the LAA on Monday & received the permission back today (Saturday). I fly a Eurostar G-CCEJ.
We did a flight from Bagby last Sunday to Skegness which was tracked all the way there & back on FlightRadar24.

General Discussion / Up & Running

« on: August 17, 2015, 02:21:38 pm »

I have built my first unit. Got it up & running today when finally received the correct dongle from China. I have tried  several dongles which are supposed to contain the Ralink 5370 chipset. Be aware not all of them work. Managed to connect to my iPad after following the instructions on the forum. I have been able to see the high level traffic overhead on Sky Demon. As this is my first unit I have not been able to verify the operation of the ARF module.
Next I need to try it in the Plane. I fly out of Bagby so would be interested to hear from anyone with Pilot Aware in the Vale of York area.
