My setup is a dual IFD 540 with Aspens and a Garmin GTX330 (no ES).
Today I was flying and I saw traffic. Often it will give a squawk code. Today, however, I saw the call sign.. N90VK .. an old Commanche. How is this possible??? I thought this was a specific ADS-B function? |

Do you have TAS 6XX installed? If so I believe it will display that information from Mode S targets.
The TAS6XX will display tail number information if the following requirements are met:

Right. The IFD540 will display tail numbers when that Mode S data is available to it. It's all about the Mode S function which has no dependency on ADS-B.

Just curious here:
How is it that you support TIS-A traffic but cannot yet display TIS-B traffic from the MLB100? I'm guessing it's something to do with FAA approval. This feature, which I believe did not make it in 10.1, is the trigger for me ordering the MLB100. This is because weather, which I can get on my iPad is, for me, a strategic tool but traffic is an immediate, tactical, benefit and I want it front and center on my IFD. I hate to even ask, but do you have TIS-B support locked into a particular release yet? And I LOVE the single-line FMS display feature in 10.1. |

Complexity and time to the finish line. Had to triage some items.
Yes but not one I'm willing to talk about yet. |

Jake, I know the MLB100 can output data in a variety of ways. Will the IFD process TIS-B traffic (from the MLB100) on the same serial data input that currently provides the FIS-B weather? My understanding of the ARINC 429 standard format is that it only supports the TIS-A traffic, but I could be wrong about that. David |

Understood. I respect that. TIS-B support is #1 on my wish list now.
