Hi,

I wish it did, but it doesn't. As stated above I received an email from LXNAV today (August 23, 2019) correcting the previous incorrect information. The PowerMouse will not transmit on the B port, unfortunately.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde

What is a Power Mouse?
Is it another system of Flarm like a core?
What is the difference/ advantage of a Mouse?

Nick,

The PowerMouse FCC also transmits and receives on the second optional RFB port. The PowerFlarm does not.

Hey Paul - you might also give an update on how it handles ADS-R and TIS-B targets. I've heard various things about ADS-R. I got a definitive 'No' from Uros on the TIS-B question.

It's tricky to do because they're in Europe so testing for US-specific features is...challenging.

Andy,

You should see ADS-R on PowerFlarm and PowerMouse if you are near a rebroadcast station.

Automatic Dependent Surveillance ‐ Rebroadcast (ADS-R)

ADS-R is a client-based service that relays ADS-B information transmitted by an aircraft broadcasting on one link to aircraft equipped with ADS-B In on the other link. For example, the information for an aircraft equipped with a 1090MHz ADS-B Out system will be re-broadcasted to an aircraft equipped with ADS-B In on the UAT (i.e. 978MHz) frequency, and vice versa.


You may see TIS-B aircraft if a client aircraft is near you.

It appears to get TIS-B you also need ADS-B Out in your aircraft.

A definition TIS-B is in order.

Aircraft equipped with avionics meeting or exceeding TSO-C199 performance requirements are "TIS-B client aircraft." Non-ADS-B aircraft or aircraft broadcasting ADS-B but not meeting TSO-C199 requirements are "TIS-B targets." Client aircraft receive TIS-B targets that are within a 15 NM radius and +/- 3500 ft altitude of the client aircraft.

NOTE: Installing ADS-B In avionics without ADS-B Out avionics that meet or exceed the performance requirements of TSO-C199 only allows aircraft to receive TIS-B data intended for nearby Client aircraft that have qualified ADS-B Out avionics. This type of "piggybacking" will result in an incomplete representation of traffic around the aircraft. See "TIS-B Service Changes" below to understand the details of what ADS-B Out performance requirements must be met to receive full TIS-B services.
