ADSB panel display

Dan

He is after a GDL-90 protocol ADS-B traffic display. You and Ramy can keep recommending FLARM compatible FLARM-serial protocol displays until the cows come come, but unless he wants to buy a PowerFLARM or PowerMouse that's not going to help him. XCSoar receives FLARM serial protocol traffic, not GDL-90. It could if somebody wanted to write the code...

screen.Â* You could also use a null turn point file and turn off all or
most of the other stuff so that you just have the white screen
displaying ADS-B and Flarm targets.

The device could be strapped to your leg or mounted to a stand off
attached to the side of your panel.

In my Stemme, I have a ClearNav II system on the left side, but I also
have a Dell Streak 5 on the right side running XCSoar.Â* It provides good
target information based upon the serial stream from the PowerFlarm.

Hi Daryl, thanks for your comments as usual. I'd have both systems (Flarm and adsb) in my glider if money and battery power and panel area were free. But having invested in a Trig 22 (which I felt was essential, much more than flarm, when moving to Minden) and recently having added adsb-out, I feel my best course forward is to get adsb-in. Adsb recieivers are cheap, but nice displays like ATD57 won't work with them, they only accept proprietary flarm protocol. I wonder why, it seems against market wishes. I personally feel that Flarm was a great early solution, but will soon be wasted money in the USA. In fact its even harmful, in syphoning money better spend on adsb. I think flarm's promise of 'safe gaggling' is not realistic now, if it ever was, since not all gliders do or will have flarm in the US.
