What happens if you do not (or forget) to change the squawk code on the Skyguard UAT Transceiver?

Mark,

I've been flying with the UAT Skyguard for about 6-MO now in the Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas area and I've yet to have any air traffic controller ask me ANY question about my ADSB capability. Even if I leave the Skyguard squawking 1200 and I'm on flight following with a squawk entered into my regular transponder, they've never asked me about the ADSB squawk. If I forget to change the squawk on the Skyguard, but have switched back to 1200 on my regular transponder, I've still never been asked about it. My guess is that the large majority of our controllers either don't yet have the proper equipment, or they're completely disregarding the information at this early stage of ADSB. That said, having traffic displayed on the iFly 720 is invaluable to my flight operations here in congested Dallas, TX. Once you have it,,, you won't be able to fly again without it. It really does add a substantial amount of peace of mind. The weather information is a huge plus,, but for me,,,, traffic information is the biggest advantage.

Best,

Chad

I stuck the transciever and the transmit antenna to the glare shield with some permagum.

I had an error message pop up a couple times. " error in binding to port 43211".

Anyone else experience an error message like that?

n1acguy,

Looks like you are using the SkyGuardTWX App in this picture. I'd contact Don at SkyGuardTWX.com, he may be able to help you with this com error.

By chance were you trying to use the iFly GPS App and the SkyGuardTWX App to change the Vision-Pro settings simultaneously. This can cause a communication issue as the SkyGuardTWX App claims port priority and then using the iFly GPS App will not make config changes like it should. We recommend using one or the other, but not both at the same time.
