Thanks Bruce,

I had a Stratux a couple of years ago.Â* Played with it for a while and
sold it.Â* I don't think the stratux will work with the iPad, will it?Â*
It's now moot since I won't be buying anything else.

Build yourself a Stratux (http://stratux.me/). Works the same as Stratus. A buddy and I have tested both and there is little or no difference. You can buy a Stratux prebuild or build it yourself. Build it yourself, I think I spent about $150(thru Amazon) with every option and assembled it in about 1/2 hour taking my time and double checking everything. The next one would take about 15 minutes. Works!!

I have an iPad mini 4 and a Stratus for adsb in. Works great and I can easily move it between aircraft. I do not have adsb out, so I miss some of the traffic. If I’m flying low on the ridges, the adsb signal is poor and intermittent so I’m missing traffic anyway......

Time goes fast. I think you played with it a few years ago. The new hardware/software works very well with ForeFlight as an example.
