So, to see a UAT equipped aircraft with a 1090 receiver you need to
be close to an aircraft with 1090 in/out.Â* Most reliable way to do
this is to put adsb 1090 in/out on your glider.

To be seen by that UAT equipped aircraft, same answer.

With adsb out on the glider and the flarm core 1090 rx, the only
issue I'm seeing is latency in the ground relay system.

It will be really neat if a flarm core s/w upgrade adds UAT rx, or
turns on all of the h/w in the box, especially the second flarm
transmitter.Â* Lacking that, instead of switching to a new flarm box,
would it be better to put the money into adsb out?

That said, if I was adding flarm, the new one looks nice.

If you have an experimental glider and a Trig transponder, it only
costs around $400 to add a TN-72 GPS and antenna.Â* That gives you dual
ADS-B Out.Â* With the addition of a Stratux receiver $150-250 depending
upon whether you assemble it yourself or buy a preassembled and tested
unit, you get dual ADS-B In.Â* I have that in my gyroplane.Â* I use a
TN-70 in the Stemme since it has Standard certification.

Flarm receives the ADS-B signals and my ClearNav II and Flarmview
display targets.Â* In the gyro I use an iPad with FlyQ.Â* Works great in
both!

How does the Stratux connect to CN II and Flarmview? I like the size of
the Scout, but I think it only works with Foreflight, which I don't use.



The Stratux is in the gyro. It connects to the iPad via wifi.

In the Stemme, ADS-B signals are picked up by the PowerFlarm portable
and sent to the CN via CAT-5 (RJ-45) cable carrying serial data and to
the FlarmView via the included RJ-11 cable carrying either serial or CAN
bus data, I don't know which data stream is on that cable.
