SkyEcho not showing other traffic

A Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 11	I finally had a chance to get back in the air this week. I connected up my Sky Echo to my ipad mini, via wi-fi, running Skydemon and set it up for the 172 I was flying. I have also purchased the Flarm addition to Skydemon. We flew from a 77nm leg and saw several aircrft on that route, obviously I have no idea if any of them were showing ADS-B out. At no time did I see any aeroplane icons on my ipad screen. I did get one warning of a target at my 11 o'clock, 100 feet below, I was not quick enough to note the range before the message disappeared. When I returned i checked the configuration box on the Skydemon menu. Under statistics it says 10 ADS-B Aircraft Received, 0 Flarm Aircraft decoded. Should I have seen aircraft icons on my screen? If so what was I doing wrong, please.

I mount the unit in the front window beside the panel, so it has a clear view of the sky. Other mounting suggestions welcome. I had assumed, wronngly it appears, that if it "saw" other aircraft it would display them on screen.

Open it up to something like +-30000' and see if you see airliners on the SD chart; if so then reduce it to something sensible like +-2000'.
