SkyguardTWX installation
Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2016 5:17 pm
I am planning to install a SkyguardTWX in my Experimental. This unit is fully compatable to the GDL90 software protocol. They have a serial input and output that run at 460.8K baud. I am told that I need an adaptor cable which has a built in converter to give a USB output to plug into my HX.
1. Is this my only/best option for input to the HX?
2. Is any setup required in the HX, or does it automically see the input and do its own setup?
3. There is an option of a LED indicator to tell you that the ADS-B is functioning properly, ie ADS-B transmitter is enabled and it is picking up the squawk and pressure altitude codes from the transponder. Are there messages appearing on the HX to let you know of these malfunctions?
