Known problems with Funke transponders

[steveu]

Hi all,

Hoping this topic will be pinned or moved to the right place, apologies if it's in the wrong one.

There are a number of known problems with Funke transponders interacting with PilotAware units. These problems are absent with other transponder manufacturers, so if making a purchasing decision, you might wish to direct your purchasing power elsewhere if buying a transponder, it seems like Trig are not only providing excellent support for your install, but also responding to users in the desired manner.

Problem no 1:

Aircraft icons pointing the wrong way in Skydemon - http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,1836.0.html

Problem no 2:

Lack of ADS-B out - http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,1173.0.html

Any other known issue could be added to this thread.

Individuals would then have warnings about their potential purchase.
