call sign numbers displayed with ads-b and 4500s?

[tomhanaway]

I have dual AFS 4500's and Navworx. My traffic displays and weather are both working well and I love it.

A friend of mine back from Oshkosh mentioned that several people with this setup were able to see the call signs of planes when the other plane's location was displayed on their AFS panel (I don't know if the call signs would only show up for other ads-b transmitting planes).

If this is possible, what do I need to adjust in either the ads-b or afs 4500s to enable this feature?

TIA,
Tom Hanaway

As I mentioned on VAF, I had the same question. I know that it functions that way on the 5x00s, but am curious if the feature was also ported to the 4500s. Thanks for posting the question.

We are working on a software update for the AF-4500 that will display them.

Thanks Rob.

Any realistic timeframe when these and other enhancements will be available? Thanks

We should have an update in the next 2 weeks, we are waiting for our ADSB box to return from repair.

I patiently waited before posting again

Any update on time frame?

Ken is still working on it, he says he is getting a lot closer. The next release with ADSB will have TFR's, winds, and lightning.

Still hoping for call signs on traffic.

Ken is still working on it, he is getting very close on the AF-4500.
