Jeff --- my understanding is that you have to have Garmin autopilot/interface to do this --- my 5600T/650 combo displays the altitudes but my TT 385 will not fly them ---- not a big deal, for me --...
Rob ---- I, and my -7A buddy, installed -.19 --- flew this morning, lots of weather --- unit worked fine - took about 5 minutes to start painting the weather, but was steady and accurate. My buddy...
Rob -- nope, I have 15.01.18-----will look for .19 and get back to you
Rob ---- yessir -- I am on Serial Port 1, ADSB 115K ---- weather on the AFS does not display until CONUS is established, but on the portables (WiFi from uAvionix) comes up much quicker.
The latest software addressed the "Conus" issue and seems to have fixed the problem, but, it takes a very long time for the Conus to be activated (Regional has always come up quickly, but it needs...
I did the new software update and flew this morning --- lots of weather around ---- new software worked fine --- saw the weather initially for about 30 seconds - it dropped out and then came back...
UPDATE -- Ken sent me some new software - I installed it, and today flew toward a line of thunderstorms ---- Nexrad displayed for about 30 seconds, disappeared for about a minute, or so, then came...
Thanks, Rob ----- Ken sent me a new software update --- I installed it, and, this morning, flew toward a line of thunderstorms off the coast ---- the Nexrad appeared on the screen, disappeared after...
I notice that no tech support (Shawn, or others) has been posted for some time ----- I left a couple of phone messages last week, and have posted on the forum a couple or three times in the past...
Just updated my original post ---- lots of weather showing on my iPad and iFly 740 --- not working on the 5600T or my neighbors 5500T --
Left a couple of voice mails
Been flying around storm cells last couple of days ---- getting traffic but no weather depiction ---- 5600T, uavionix Echo, -- working well with WiFi to my iFly 740 and iPad running WingX or FlyQ ---...
Radar but No weather ---- I get traffic fine, but no weather display --- 5600T, uavionix --- displays fine on my iFly 740 and iPad running WingX or FlyQ ---- I changed the display from hard-wire to...
Rob --- I will get back to you on the info ---- I am running the January 2018 software version. Edit: Add --Port 1 115K--
Do not know Nexrad age --- will try again when weather conditions...
Interesting morning --- I purposely flew this morning to look at the several heavy rain showers in the area ---- I wanted to see how they looked on the AFS 5600T vs. the iFly 740, and my eyeballs.

AFS 5600T, and uAvionix Echo and SkyFx, "sniffing" G327 TXP ---- I would like to be able to filter the traffic targets by altitude (i.e. +/- 3000ft), and distance ( radius 5 mile, 10 mile, etc.) ---...
Kurt --- I did exactly that with my setup ---- my EMS is the Dynon 120 feeding the 5600T--- works fine. I do not have the standby activated under normal conditions, and will switch it on when the...
Installed panel, used the harness to plug into my 5-port hub, configured the EFIS to recognize the panel on the net ---- everything working as advertised. Only suggestion --- AP status is...
Shawn, thanks very much ----I have manual trim, so not a problem. I am going to place the order for the panel and cable --- I have already started "rearranging" my new panel to make room for the...
I have the 5600T connecting with the Trutrak Vizion 385/G650. Everything works great, but I would like to add the autopilot control panel to eliminate going to the screen to control the AP. I have...
Be sure your N no. and ICAO code are on your "setup" screen --- I had the same issue -- the ghosting went away once the AFS knew who I was.
Ron
I would also like to see this, for the approach plates -- on the approach, the only engine info I normally look at are my MAP and RPM.
(Also single-screen, 5600T)
Ron
Please report back on the altitude issue ---- my hangar neighbor, and I, 5500T and 5600T Navworx, are considering the Echo, also.
Ron
Rob, thanks to your explanation, I was able to go out, today, and get everything working --- I also posted the success on the RV forum. I really like the 5600T system and look forward to exploring...
Shawn, Rob --- I have been following the discussion in the VANSAIRFORCE (RV) forum and am having the same issues as Lee. In my case (5600T, Vizion 385, GTN 650), I can put a flight plan in the 650...
