Any plans to give Bluetooth connection option to transponders?

It certainly won't be this year. A customer of ours conducted an informal poll at Aero of a few manufacturers who were there, to see what percentage of transponders in general use even support such a remote setting of squawk. The answer was around 50%, but all with different proprietary ways of doing so, which is not encouraging.

So which ever transponder manufacturer takes up the challenge to allow squarks codes via RS232 or Bluetooth direct, will have Skydemon user base as potential customer then!
