53 SUMMER 2025/2026 | December-January-February SKY SAILOR lower power output limits the range of the EC unit to around 20m. That’s it for the moment. Displaying the data is more complex, and the options are few. I’m going to restrict the solutions here to those I have direct experience with. There may be other solutions out there that I am not aware of. Just be aware that products from Europe or elsewhere may not function as intended in Australia. This may be because of different frequencies used here, compared to the rest of the world. This is particularly the case for FLARM and also relates to ADS-L (more on that one later). I am running my ADS-B data through to an AIR3 tablet. Running on the AIR3 is XCTrack and another application called XC Guide, a very handy tool I have written about previously (have a look at the Jan/ Feb 2022 edition of SkySailor). XC Guide only runs on Android devices and is available through the Google Play store. XC Guide connects to the Skyecho2’s wifi hotspot and sucks in the data. It displays signals from other ADS-B OUT aircraft in the app’s display. You can also pipe that data through the AIR3’s internal software data ports to XCTrack and see those aircraft on your display. Here’s how the whole configuration looks on my no-longer flown Delight3 harness (I’ve yet to set up the mount on my new harness): Photos: Iain Clarke
