Thanks Cobra. As I mentioned in the last post, quite likely the big expensive option in my plane takes as long to wind up, but I'm doign other stuff and don't notice! LOL!

Cheers

A caveat to what Cobra said: you can only count on getting a "good" picture of what's around you once airborne *if* you have ADS-B Out installed and operating.  If not, then it's hit and miss what you'll see.  Further, as other people have noted, and I strongly second: even if you do have ADS-B Out and are at a decent altitude over relatively flat terrain and are within range of an ADS-B tower -- even then you might have aircraft around you that are within your defined iFly limits but somehow don't show up as targets on your display.  Keep your eyes out.

Good point on "Visual Awareness" Hook. I teach my students the same thing - your eyes are your #1 instruments. They don't call it SEE and avoid for no reson! However, tools like ADS/B (and ATC!!) are great to help.

Good clarification re: ADSB-out, Hook.  Thanks for pointing that out.

Have you gotten to re-try it outside? I have a stratux at my desk that I use to connect all the 740s while doing initial and final quality control checks and have no issues connecting...

You're sure you're connecting to the stratux and not some other network as well?
