XM Wx Question
Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2018 3:08 pm
I've recently returned from a trip to Canada and last week to North Fox Island. In both situations ADSB was not available. I still have my GRT XM setup, the WxWorx receiver and GRT processor.
I would prefer not to disconnect/remove my ADSB In (Stratux) when I need XM. I have a Sport HS EFIS, so I'm using the serial interface to Stratux.
I do not use Foreflight, so the Siriux SXAR1 is not an option.
I use FltPlnGO which will accept XM if I have a Baron Mobile Link box which does not seem to be available. FltPlnGO tells me that XM via Garmin is in the works, but no idea when that may happen.
My WxWorx receiver has an USB cable. I'm assuming it is a USB host device. Could I just connect a USB to WiFi adapter to that and have XM on my iPad? Or do I need to use two USB - RS232 adapters (same idea as mentioned in early Stratux thread) and a USB-WiFi adapter to transmit the WxWorx data via WiFi to my iPad?
Thanks for any suggestions.
