PowerFlarm -> BT578 -> SkyDemon not seeing traffic

I have a PowerFlarm Portable connected to a BT578 V3 and then to SkyDemon (4.3.2.453) on my iPad. When I "Go Flying" and choose the Bluetooth dongle my location is received however traffic is not being shown in SkyDemon. I can see aircraft on the PowerFlarm display but not in SkyDemon.

I thought it might be something to do with the radio frequency transmission also being configured on the same bluetooth device so I bought a 2nd dongle and tried with a simulated NMEA file containing location and traffic at home and get the same result, location but no traffic.

If I switch back to my Air Connect device it works but I'd like to be able to use the data connection whilst flying and connecting to that with WiFi prevents that.

Does anyone have traffic shown using the same configuration?
