I'm building out trackers to go in our club ships and playing with the Skyview EZ so each ship has a rudimentary display of the tracker's received data. I have one working well and showing radar and traffic info screens nicely, connecting to both the t-beam and t-echo devices. BUT.... i'd love to get the OGN database downloaded and working. I followed the instructions from github but the databases at https://github.com/lyusupov/SoftRF/tree/master/software/data/Aircrafts look to be 4 years old. Does

How good are these receivers? I wouldn't expect them to be as good as a Flarm, but wonder if they're useful for low-time pilots flying club
ships occasionally.

Keep learning about the product. It's being adopted by the SSA who are providing free receivers to clubs to encourage the uptake. However you don't need a receiver on the ground to get proximity warnings. Two gliders carrying a device each will be able

SSA is providing ground-based receivers for tracking purposes, that's
quite different than receivers in ships for collision avoidance. We're talking about the latter. I'm just interested in how readable the
displays are, how good the audio alerts are, whether you get continuous proximity alarms when thermaling with other gliders (like the old PCAS systems), things of that nature.
