Has SD been involved with any trials

Cibble10,
The problem is that SE doesn't provide meaningful information from bearingless targets, unlike the output from PilotAware and FLARM.

This is a recent post from Tim (on another forum) regarding SE and bearingless targets:

"Bearingless targets are a feature provided by Flarm and PilotAware. Those devices pass us the aircraft id, altitude, vertical speed, estimated range (guesswork but based on signal strength; the user can learn to interpret the ring size changes over time) and even callsign.

SkyEcho doesn’t have anything like that. Its only offering is to send us the altitude of a mode C/S return as it comes in. No vertical speed, no range (estimated or otherwise), or even an aircraft id. I declined that offering."

Thanks Tony,  I have now picked up on the point that it is a Sky Echo output issue. Very disappointing as the Sky Echo 2 only provides for ADS-B traffic on SD (and FLARM if you pay extra for it).  Unless someone needs the transponder element then it seems to me to pretty pointless if you already have an ADS-B/FLARM  solution in the cockpit. A pity given that it is nicer to have traffic on the larger ipad screen with SD running than on the panel mounted Garmin 650 as i do.
