If you want that functionality you'll have to use the annunciations from PAW itself. Edited 3/14/2020 3:33:00 PM by DaveWhite

In any case I also think bearingless targets need a voice warning ('Traffic Alert, Warning or Danger" depending on signal strength etc.). Most of the targets out there in a GA environment are bearingless and worth knowing about. I keep having to look at the screen for this traffic as SD does not tell me over the audio. Tim, I know you're not a fan of doing this but perhaps as an option that defaults to Off but allows us that would like it to turn it ON, that would be great!

Both brilliant, compatible and constantly improving – thank you. Now that both give an audio output, I am plugging leads into the output from both, combining those leads into a dual cable, and plugging it into my Boise headset. However, I am not sure this is the 'best practice'. Any comment please? Colin - don't you end up with traffic alerts coming from both SD and PaW (ie. duplicates?) Not that I have noticed, surprisingly.

SD is set to show bearingless contacts but with traffic off. The mixed feed then goes into the my garmin GNA audio panel on the self-muting audio line. Seems to work ok as the line levels are broadly well matched and dont appear to over-drive each other.

Having ability to see and hear these on SD would be fantastic. At the moment it's binary choice between SD audio or PaW audio. At the moment the best compromise is to have audio alerts (but no voice) on SD and voice on PaW. It seems a shame not make use of the fantastic voice alerts on SD. If it can accept and read out bearingless alerts as suggested above, leave it to the PaW user to dial down the sensitivity/frequency of alerts!
