I was able to find this video that describes my problem. Stratux outputs a web page on 192.168.10.1 that, among other things, shows all the aircraft it is "seeing" at any one time. The plane it is riding in will show up first. You can copy that hex code into a second web page and it will not...

An issue I'm having with my Stratux ADSB-in device is it sees my plane as well as all the others in my area. Using it with Skydeamon (UK competitor to Foreflight here in the US) on my tablet. Getting verbal warnings there is a plane 100' behind me at the same altitude. I have to turn off the...

Turns out the altitude encoder is defective so not sending information to the transponder. A new one is on order. Interesting factoid. When they do the (around here about $200) VFR-only transponder test on the plane every two years per FAA requirements.... they do not test the altitude encoder...

Made a second test flight yesterday. Report came back "clean" save for that darn red box for Baro Alt. Mentioned this to an avionics friend of mine. He checked my tail # on Flight Aware. "I see your issue... you have no Mode C... there are no altitudes showing up" My transponder is apparently...

Well, I'm trying to fix this report and one of the things that is missing is Baro Alt (ft) I'm thinking that's because my transponder has not been pinged as yet, from that one flight Saturday in Class E, so it has not talked to the skyBecon (or vice versa ?). All conjecture here since I cannot...

Thank you. You are the first one to tell me this. Even the skyBeacon people do not know this. Total B.S. I believe I need to fly into airspace that has radar, like a Class D (Brainard-Hartford,) so it will talk to my plane's transponder and it will, in turn, talk to the skyBeacon. I should get...

I'm in Connecticut. The skyBeacon is working because I show up on flightaware for that flight. There is 00:00:00 for rule airspace on the report because I did not enter any on that flight. It would mean flying into the Mode C of Boston-Logan. I am reluctant to do that until I know this unit is...

Appreciate the reply... however, fly where? Anywhere inside Class E and below 10K will do it? No, I do not need clearance but, as the name implies, I do need a working Mode C transponder and, now a days, a working ADS-B Out system. It's that second item I need to somehow verify meets the FAA...

Have a few questions on completing the installation of my skyBeacon ADS-B out unit. I'm hoping someone here can help me with that. First, the skyBeacon manual states "Select ALT mode on the aircraft's transponder. In an area of known radar activity or using a ramp tester interrogate the...

Funny, that's exactly who posted this video. Juan Brown. BTW: The title tells you exactly what the video is all about. In the time many of you spent posting why you will not watch, you could have watched it and maybe, just maybe, learned something.

Works for me on three devices. Here is the link to Youtube, if you want to watch it there.

Jesse, you are the best : )

Thanks again, Jesse.

What is the bi-annual mode c transponder check supposed to include? That is, what is the technician testing for when he hooks up his box to your plane and what must be the result for each test (parameter wise) to give you a re-certification for another two years? Thanks

Thanks for the reply, Jesse. Does it show you what altitude they're at?

To the pilots out there that have ADSB-In (and out) in their planes... What, if anything, do you see if a plane is near you but has only a Mode C transponder running? Does it make any difference if flight following has given that plane a distinct code for the trip? Thanks!

For a $5 landing fee you can get all this and a very nice day out with the family. http://tfgtransfer.com/goodspeed.htm

A little backstory on Goodspeed (42B) Airport. The airport was recently sold to two individuals, who both owned planes on the field, and the Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF), a non-profit organization out of Montana that seeks to preserve small GA airports from extinction. They hope to...
