I'm getting close to 60 days since ordering an ADS-b unit.  Haven't had 

any response to my last 2 calls/emails.



Has anyone rec'd a unit recently?  How long?



Thanks

Bill

According to Bill Moffit, one of the planned software upgrades is to give GPS output.  I want to use this to drive my ELT.  Hopefully, it will come with this software upgrade.  Given that we already have to enter a number of software  commands into the ADS-600B for setup and ID purposes, I don’t understand why Navworx doesn’t make the software available for online downloading as opposed to requiring the unit to be sent back in.

I'm still awaiting my ADS-600B unit.  Sent my ADS-600 unit for upgrade back in September.  I did get a reply from Bill Moffitt yesterday that "they are trying to get the latest software into all units prior to shipment."  He gave me the option for them to ship it now, but if they did, "I would have to return it before it will support an future software upgrades, new features, etc."  I opted to wait.

Mine only took a couple of weeks (last month) but have been waiting for the setup software (new beta version) since. 



Do not archive.

I sent mine back in recently to get reworked as it didn't come with ARINC. It took a couple weeks. Navworx has been responsive to my questions and has delivered as promised...

Jay

Not all units are or at least have been, field upgradeable. It may

depend on which version they're at right now, of both hardware

and software.  They've worked hard to quickly add features as

they found them useful.  I requested GPS output a long time ago

myself, too.  It's great that they actually listen...the catch

is, in adding features, they sometimes require adding things like

additional serial line hardware and things like that, along

with the code to utilize it.  So I'm sure that has a lot to do

with the delays.  Nobody wants to ship anything out the door

knowing that if they just wait a little longer it'll come with

some new feature that will just be requested anyway.  I'm not

saying that's what's happening for sure, but I know that it

probably has something to do with it.  The boxes that people

get today have much more capability than what I originally

got.



Regarding not posting the manuals and software on the website,

I asked about this a while back in a phone call, and while I'm

not going to go into the reasonings, I'd like to say that now

that I know, I understand why for the time being.  There will

come a day when the manuals will be publicly downloadable...it's

just not yet. The software I'm not sure of.  In some cases it's

maybe better that they don't just stick software out there that

anyone can get....the customer may not be aware of the

consequences that they'll face if they load it and don't

understand what they may need to do differently.  So at this

stage of the game, I don't see this as anything too unusual.



Just had a flight to Chicago yesterday, and the ADS-B traffic came

in very handy.  There are a lot of planes in the sky on a nice

day...I'll say that.  We had a few good alerts that were

actually useful.
