A little context. On another aviation forum there was a discussion about a law firm in the Phoenix area (working for a client) sending threading letters to aircraft owner's who where legally flying in a certain area. The client obviously did not want aircraft overhead. They apparently are using...

I sure would like the ability to broadcast a Flight ID versus the N-number. Can this be done with a coding change in SkyView?

I loaded the new software, running original 472 (with firmware update) and FlightAware filter. So far I don't see any difference. So it is entirely possible those of us running an old 472 with new firmware and a FlightAware filter will not see any difference with a new 472 if the only change in...

Yes, that is your opinion. I have another. In any event, this saga has been very strange and not typical of my previous experience with Dynon. Dynon has stated that the problem with the 472 is both software and hardware. I have no reason to doubt that conclusion. But it seems we have a...

Just an update. Sorry the filter does not seem to work for everyone but so far I am delighted. My airport traffic pattern is below ADSB station coverage so I have been most concerned with reliable aircraft to aircraft coverage. Been flying the local area finding ADSB out airplanes and following...

Yes, under "Settings/Traffic" you can "Hide Distant Traffic" As I fly the Scout against the 472 I like to watch all the traffic and see how the 472 acquires new traffic just coming into range while painted by the Scout outside the 472 window. So far the Scout and 472 seem to be seeing the same...

Interesting feature in ForeFlight with the Scout. You can turn on ADSB ground stations for display and monitor signal strength from the station. Continue to fly with the filter. Traffic target performance much better.

Cell phone interference sounds like a reasonable issue, so I did a little experiment. Dialed an ASOS on my iPhone X and placed the iPhone directly on top of my Stratus 2 which was actively connected to an ADSB station and left it there a few minutes. Result - no impact. Stratus continued to...

I have made a few more flights and an extended period of watching the screen with the aircraft in the hangar. "Hangar flying" the aircraft there is absolutely no doubt the 472 with the filter is working better than the 472 without the filter. The 472 with the filter has better reception than my...

Caution? This is really not too complicated. Put the filter on and compare your results to a known portable ADSB source. If you don't have one find a friend who does. In my case I put the filter on and flew it against the Scout running on ForeFlight. In all of my flights so far, the filter...

I have seen this before when flying Scout ADSB through ForeFlight. Same target on the Dynon had no tail number while the same aircraft displayed on ForeFlight had a tail number. Could be some of the software issues with the 472.

Good. Got a call from Dynon. They wanted my diagnostic file for the flights with the filter which I sent. You may want to send your files as well with the filter. Did some hangar flying today. Since I have worked on the unit so much in the hangar I was familiar with it's previous signal...

Saw that. Since cell phones are barking the same frequencies, I wonder. My cell phone in my pocket is less than two feet from the ADSB antenna on the belly of the airplane.

At this point I am happy with a better answer if not the total answer. As I said after two flights today there is no doubt my 472 is working better. Certainly worth $14 till something better comes along. My Carbon Cub seems to have a fair amount of RFI among the boxes, so I may be a special...

You will need these SMA to BNC adapters to patch into the antenna cable. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017SOLCMU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CVQJRUA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Much too early to declare victory but I just installed a FlightAware 1090MHz Mode S Filter on the antenna lead of my ADSB 472. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010GBQXK8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Made one long flight in and out of coverage. There is absolutely no doubt my...

The iPhone was solidly locked on to the Scout WiFi when I tested it. Scout makes no attempt at any shielding. Looks like antenna and chips on a single board enclosed in plastic.

One observation. I just flew the new Scout Dual-Band ADSB-B Receiver in a 472 equipped Carbon Cub with Skyview HDX. I just stuck the Scout on the windshield and watched its output on an iPhone running ForeFlight. The Scout really struggled while the 472 worked "normally". 472 was pulling in...

My point is that much of this equipment is operating in experimental aircraft by folks who love to tinker and experiment. Whether a software update or a new piece of hardware I am guessing there are a bunch of guys who would be glad to test provided they could easily roll back in the event of...

True. I am a big supporter of Dynon. A real spunky company given the strength of big "G". But, one must ask who the hell is doing the beta testing for this product (and some of the software updates)? The 472 is so easy to swap for the 470 there should have been some open beta testing where...
