I have an Avidyne AXP340 transponder with 1090 ADS-B out and I'm installing SV-ADSB-472. In the IM, there is a note that says "ADS-R TIS-B traffic is only available if a SV-XPNDR-261 with ADS-B OUT capability is installed and is providing ADS-B OUT position reports into the ADS-B system." There is another note that gives instructions "To enable ADS-B Traffic information on the SV-ADSB-472 with an ADS-B OUT device other than the Dynon Avionics SV-XPNDR-261."

Assuming I follow the instructions for non-Dynon transponder, will I receive traffic on both bands with the SV-ADSB-472 from towers and air-to-air? The SV-ADSB-472 has a single 978 antenna so I'm curious if it still picks up 1090 traffic or if it was relying on the Dynon transponder for that.

Yep, you'll get both bands. The single antenna is "good enough" and receives both 978MHz and 1090MHz signals.
