Everything is now in kts (this was the 2nd flight). The S8 is slaved to the 9070. I could control the radio from the 9070, but that requires a $240 bridge (LXNAV-Bridge-Trig).

I don't have ADS-B In.

Really???Â* How much have you got invested in that well set up ASH-31?Â*
What's $240 as a percentage of that, 0.1%?

How could anyone claim that glider pilots are notoriously cheap? :-D

I really like the ADSB-in on my Phoenix. The radar and TFRs are worth it; also,
getting the winds and weather at airports out of AWOS range.

I am have ADS-B In by virtue of the PowerFlarm core. I have been getting power traffic alerts, but I thought that was transponder alerts. What I will probably add is the Flarmview57 for a dedicated alert display (replacing the volt/ammeter).

Not sure why you would get a separate instrument to show flarm as the LX9070 is the biggest screen to show the alerts on.

I am not confident that the 9070 will display the alerts when I need them the most. It seems like I have to page over to the flarm display to see what is going on. This may get resolved as I fly with it more.

I get too many alerts! Perhaps both of us could learn a bit more about the 9070, however, that is the largest display in the center of the panel. My alerts come up no matter what page is displayed in flight.

Dan and I meant are the "bonus" features of ADS-B in: things like weather, radar
images, TFRs, etc.

Eric,

I have dual mode ADS-B Out and In in the Cessna 180 and 1090ES out in
the Stemme.Â* The Powerflarm portable gives me 1090ES ADS-B IN in the
Stemme via both the ClearNav II moving map and a Flarmview display.Â* I
played with a Dual XGPS-170D with a Sony Xperia Z3 for dual mode ADS-B
In on an Avare display but it just proved to be redundant and mounting
was problematic.Â* I may offer the XGPS-170D
https://gps.dualav.com/explore-by-product/xgps170d for sale...

2G, Tom, if your Flarm target has a position display on your moving map,
it's an ADS-B In target.Â* If it's just a range circle, it's simply a
transponder return (Mode 3/A or Mode S).
