I tried SD today with a Rosetta PAw, using GDL90. PAw connected to the audio panel, SD sound connected via tablet / Bluetooth to my headset (with a different voice).
The runway annunciation and airspace warnings were great. GPS traffic worked fine.
There was 'traffic' target in the tower, a base station I think, but SD thought it was an aircraft and warned me of it while PAw ignored it.
I prefer to also receive the bearingless targets that PAw provides.
Any chance that SD could add that as an option? Then I would only need the SD audio into my panel. Otherwise it gets complicated, or I have to use only PAw and lose the airspace / runway stuff. I don't need rings when the targets are announced.

I use the GDL90 protocol with PAw with 2 SDRs, so the weather can be received aloft. My weather tab shows the red dot. I just need to fly over SD HQ or Redhill to get an update. I'll let you know.

SD rocks, thankyou

What would the warning(s) say?

Maybe the same as the PAw voice alerts would say. E.g., "Traffic Alert, 500 feet, above."


The voice alerts are:

1. "TRAFFIC NOTICE" – Advises you of the presence of a Mode C/S contact at themaximum range for your selected detection setting.2. “TRAFFIC ALERT” – Advises that the aircraft is continuing towards you. Youshould now be maximizing your visual scan guided by the relative height andalso planning and possibly implementing avoiding action. E.g. climbing ordescending to increase separation.3. “TRAFFIC DANGER”- The aircraft is now in relative close proximity and allefforts should be concentrated on a visual scan to locate it, together with anyand all appropriate action to maximize separation

1. "TRAFFIC NOTICE" – Advises you of the presence of a Mode C/S contact at the

2. “TRAFFIC ALERT” – Advises that the aircraft is continuing towards you. You

also planning and possibly implementing avoiding action. E.g. climbing or
descending to increase separation.

efforts should be concentrated on a visual scan to locate it, together with any
and all appropriate action to maximize separation

The signal from a Mode C/S transponder increases non linearly as it gets close to, anddiminishes non linearly as it retreats from your aircraft. The absolute signal strengthtransmitted is not a constant for all installations, so PilotAware can only work with relativestrengths. A voice alert is generated as the signal strength from an aircraft known by itsindividual ICAO code, changes between strength bands.

Reporting heights and detection sensitivity are user selectable on the Configuration Page ofPilotAware. As the danger passes the annunciations are generally reversed however theymay return should the received signal strength increase again. Alerts are only given as theaircraft transits through to another Zone.

                 Not that I have noticed, surprisingly.

                     That’s worrying!
