Check out the reviews - https://www.aircraftspruce.com.au/catalog/avpages/crazedpilot11-14137.php. An uncomfortable number of unhappy purchasers, with just a few rave reviews.

 

Price is great. Instructions good. Looks nice & simple, small/light weight. Aircraft Spruce is a reputable supplier - anyone had a bad experince with them?

 

What do you think?

Will my Bose A20 Bluetooth headphones do the same thing?

Probably - assuming Bluetooth compatible with iPad running "AvTraffic™ 😈

I have a Bluetooth bought on ebay  that is connected with a audio plug directly into my radio, micro air do have the ability to connect the adio cable via the plug at the back.

Then all I do is to connect my I pad with the Bluetooth dongle and viola alerts thru ozrunways

More details please.

Photos would be great.

What traffic system are you running?😈

I’m an AvTraffic pilot - met Andy (72) the original founder from Southport QLD. He’s taken on feedback from CASA, RAAus and pilots round the world to improve it over the years. Responds promptly to questions I put on the website. 
 

The local ultralights and gliders near me are using the free version to see each other and GA. I pay the 3 bucks a month for the Bluetooth audio TCAS warnings and EFB map integration.

I bought a standard Bluetooth transmitter with an av input, i then ran a av cable with one end where i cut the plug off and soldered the two wires into the microair radio plug as it gives you audio in just check the connection diagram, and the other end plugged into the receiver. I pair my I pad with the transmitter after which avtraffic will make announcements over your headsets, the radio will also mute when you receive a radio transmission.

Unfortunately you can only connect one devise at a time thru the bluetooth.

I also subscribed to avtraffic , but you need to open ozrunways thru avtraffic in order to hear the announcements

Barrynel,

 

You are not communicating with "the sharpest tool in the shed" especially when it comes to electronics. So a few questions;

 

"I bought a standard Bluetooth transmitter with an av input,...

• What is a "standard Bluetooth transmitter with an av input,... ". ?

I understand that a Bluetooth devise must receive a signal from?? to act/show data.

• Is "av" an abbreviation of aviation or something else?

 

How is the device, you seem to have modified, diffrent to the crop of aviation headset Bluetooth adapters, that are currently available?

 

"i then ran a av cable with one end where i cut the plug off and soldered the two wires into the microair radio plug as it gives you audio in"

 

• This reads like you have hardwired your Bluetooth into your transceiver?😈

Hi Skippy

you can buy an audio cable at any place,the small plug go into the bluetooth unit and the other end gets cut of and the two wires get hard wired (soldered)into the radio plug

[onetrack]

Skippy - "AV cable" refers to an "Audio-Video cable" - a cable capable of carrying audio or video signals.

Bluetooth device receives wireless audio from iPad or phone or tablet. Bluetooth device then sends audio via wires directly to the headset jacks or it can be wired to intercom/vhf radio that is connected to headset Jack's.

 

Have you ever paired a Bluetooth device to your phone or tablet?

Yes.

 

In all my Bluetooth "pairing" to date, ithas been between devises so capable. 

 

I am now contemplating empowering my non Bluetooth David Clark headset, with a Bluetooth adapter.

My confusion arises from; 

Barrynel's system which seem to involve hard wiring.

The systems I have been looking at are - plug headset in male jack/ female end of  Bluetooth adapter - Bluetooth adapter plugs male jack into female panel socket of Comm system. Bobs Your Uncle, we now have a Bluetooth connection (subject to pairing) with iPad running AvTraffic alerts (have Barry's  phone number so will call for enlightenment)😈

While you all are talking about headphones, i have a set of refurbished Bose a10 s..worked perfect but now the noise cancelling is dropping in and out. Would anyone have an idea what causes this.

Apparently soon.

Lots of trikes, hang glider and drone pilots use Android phones and they want to run the free version of AvTraffic so they can see each other and GA pilots can see where they are.

I have ordered the necessary (I hope) Bluetooth connecting device - will wait until it arrives before accessing the 4 month trial, if still available.😈
