Is this the radar-capable version?

Username Protected · **Posted:** 01 May 2019, 20:27

I don't know. It was not connected to radar in the plane it came out of.

When I bought the plane it was displaying traffic from a Ryan 9900BX TCAD, flight plan and position from a 430W, strikes and cells from WX-500 stormscope. I switched the traffic to a GTX-345 ADS-B plus which also added weather.

I believe the radar version has dual concentric knobs, this one does not.

The P/N (-001) is definitely non-radar, though it's still a very good unit for displaying traffic and/or Stormscope data. Noticeably better resolution than showing it on a GNS (but not a GTN). We've had several in service for a number of years now and are very satisfied with them.

What are sources for traffic data that it is compatible with? (I have an EX500 in my plane, and traffic from a GTX-345, but they are not wired together.)

All ours are paired with NGT-9000s, so can't speak to any other combinations, but certainly trust Derek's input regarding the GTX. Though this SIL is several months old and may have been resolved by now, it appears Avidyne may be having issues with the software update he referred to: https://www.avidyne.com/files/downloads ... 04-008.pdf, so you might want to check on its status before updating.

I checked with my avionics shop. Traffic from a GTX 345 does not display, traffic from other ADS-B transponders will - along with traffic from active systems. Mine was fed from a Ryan 9900BX/Avidyne TAS 620. Plus data from WX500 stormscope, flightplan, terrain, XM weather, and moving map.

Price dropped to $1800.

Is the WX-500 the only system this will work with?

It's a shame so many of the MFD's won't work with a WX-10a to overlay lightning on ADS-B radar data or I'd be seriously considering this.

As far as I know, just WX-500 for lightning.

Username Protected · **Posted:** 14 May 2019, 09:20

Yes, I think all the lightning overlay MFD's need the -500. I guess the WX-10a just isn't capable of outputting the grey code needed...?

:shrug:

Shame, it would be nice to overlay the lightning data on the radar, you could see the developing edge of the thunderstorm before precipitation starts and give you better avoidance.
