That fixed it!  Thank you Walter!  I spoke with Michael and he stated that the software fix was what I needed.

You guys have an awesome product and incredible customer support.

Thanks again.

This is bad news, If the bandwith is saturated BEFORE full implementation, what will happen in 2020, and EVERYBODY in on It??

Ciao

You might want to use something different when you install your 2020 compliant ADS-B out.

For clarity: The bandwidth I'm speaking of in this thread is between the ping and the iFly, not the ADS/B network itself.  The ping has some culling logic to mitigate this even if there were a lot more traffic around...so it really is a benign issue.  The real issue was iFly trying to reset the port, which is fixed.

Tested my Ping for iFly yesterday over western Oregon: received 1 to 3 towers depending on location and it updated the wx nicely. Found the ADS-B menu and report pages - would be nice to have some documentation on these options and report parameters. Never did see any traffic reported, but as I understand ADS-B In, we need to be within the "hockey puck" dimensions of 15 nm radius and +- 3500 feet altitude to piggy-back onto an ADS-B Out equiped plane.

Thanks for the quick fix.
