Actually, you can't beat it for the price. (Proof reading 101)

Shane,

What settings did you use to connect a 'Droid with the Clarity SV. I'm using a Leovo 'Droid tablet and it doesn't see the Clarity. My wife's iPad sees it fine.

I'm going to have to re-confirm this. This image had to have been taken with the Clarity or the iLevil. Unfortunately, I can't tell from the image and I use both frequently.

Clarity uses a Peer-to-Peer Wi-Fi, which is not supported on older versions on Android. But shows 4.0 or higher does support it. My tablets are 4.2.2 and 4.4.2. I'll test it in the office and report back shortly.

As far as I know, even the most recent versions of Android still do not support ad hoc (peer-to-peer) wifi connections natively. There are some workarounds, but they're somewhat kludgey and all require the device to be rooted.

I was unable to get either my stock Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 phone or stock Nexus 7 (2013), both running Android 4.3, to recognize an original Skyradar device (which only supports peer-to-peer connections).

It is confirmed, the Clarity is not being seen by the Android devices. Android 4.0 or higher was noted online to support Ad hoc or Peer-to-Peer, but this has not happen. I tested several Android devices internally from 4.0.2 up to 4.4.2 and none of them are seeing the Clarity device on Wi-Fi .

Therefore the Screenshot above is of the iLevil and the Android App. Sorry for any confusion on this.

We are continuing to ask Clarity to flash or update their Wi-Fi firmware to support the Wireless Access Point or WAP, much the same as iLevil and other manufacturers have done to move away from Ad hoc networks. Sagetech has not committed to make that revision at this time. We'll keep you posted.

SkyRadar has indicated you can send in your SkyRadar original for a Wi-Fi upgrade that will allow it to support the WAP. I'd reach out to Alexey or Vladamir at Radenna.
