Hi Alf,

I also fly a vintage aircraft with no electrical system.

However I do have a Trig TT21 transponder with ADS-B out connection, Trig TY91 8.33 VHF radio and also a Horis 80 AHRS.

I power this equipment using a 12V 5.2AH Li-Ion battery which lasts at least 8 flying hours between re-charges.

So it is possible to be equipped with a transponders etc. without a full aircraft electrical system.

I am still undecided which way to go with having an electronic conspicuity receiver capability.

I like the SE2 but it can only detect ADS-B and FLARM. Also I would need to disable the SE2 Mode-S transmissions as I have a transponder.

PAW is on the list and will be interesting to see how the new MLAT capability works.

Well, BoM (bill of material) is less than € 150, it receives ADS-B and FLARM and connects to all major EFBs including SD over GDL90 protocol. Several sources offer ready-to-fly versions for € 279 or DIY kits for € 225

Furthermore there are a couple of folks (including myself) that maintain the code and develop it further.

Thank you for the quick reply. You folks are great, really like this. My question was more towards: Does it have the same functionality as SkyEcho 2 with the FEB 2019 Firmware, ADS-B in/out, Flarm AND Mode S/C bearingless reception?

Stratux Europe Edition is only an "in" device, meaning ADS-B in and FLARM in. In addition Mode C/S targets are also received and displayed on the "Radar" page but not forwarded to the connected EFB.

Sky Echo 2 does NOT have the ability to show bearingless targets. They scrapped that trial feature.

Just to be sure, you should download: https://github.com/b3nn0/stratux/releases/download/v1.5b2-eu003/stratux-v1.5b2-eu003-a6721f94.img.zip

After burning the IMG to the SD card using e.g. Etcher:

• plug the SD card into the Stratux and connect power
• connect Wifi with "stratux"
• open via browser 192.168.10.1
• "Settings/Configuration": enter your own transponder ICAO code
• "Settings/Configuration": "GDL90 MSL Altitude" deactivate for SkyDemon

You don't have to install any additional files.
