Thanks Cobra!
I think I solved my issue. I pulled up AVARE on my phone and it shows me and my call sign.
Once I have this, I am good to go.
Today, oddly, I was able to see traffic on the free EFB, AVARE, but NOT on my iFly with STRATUX! Astonishing!
I will chalk this up to "new system proclivities" and let it go, but it is very spotty at times - far LESS reliable than I would have imagined.
So, I go to land at Hagerstown, MD, and on the way in, I ask tower if they can see me on ADSB.....controller says NO, the faa have NOT outfitted towers with ADSB IN yet, meaning they have to count on RADAR to skin paint or transponder to ID targets at this time....seems odd the faa would require us to have it, but not the 600 or so towers in the USA. I think a simple ADSB - IN system and a tablet would give them much better SA.
As always, thanks for your good advice, Cobra!

Here is how I am checking my ADSB OUT after departure - on AVARE! I can also see my wingman nearby in 46E!
AND, here we are on iFLY, note that I cannot "see" myself, which is OK, but I would still like to know my ADSB OUT is working, so I can check with AVARE....nice feature. I wish we had a "Our Plane" on/off switch on our moving map display to know it was working ok! No big deal - can live with this AS IS.
