A Note on ADS-B

Introduction

The ADS-B network provides weather data as 

well as a growing amount of air traffic information. 

However, ADS-B is an emerging system which still 

has coverage gaps. The current coverage map is 

available  on  the  FAA  website  at  http://www.faa.

gov/nextgen.

Weather. 

The ADS-B ground system broadcasts 

regional NEXRAD weather information every 2.5 

minutes and continental NEXRAD information ev-

ery 15 minutes. Both weather broadcasts are re-

ceived by the XGPS190.

Traffic.

  The  XGPS190  will  also  receive  ADS-B 

traffic  information  from  both  the  ADS-B  ground 

system  and  from  other  aircraft  operating  UAT  or 

1090ES transponders. Traffic information includes 

position, heading, speed and altitude for each air-

craft.
However, it is important to know that traffic infor-

mation offered through the ADS-B ground system 

is only broadcast in response to a signal from an 

ADS-B Out transponder. Since not all aircraft are 

equipped with ADS-B transponders at this point, 

please be aware that the traffic information provid-

ed by the ADS-B network is only a partial picture 

of traffic. Until all aircraft are ADS-B out equipped, 

always assume there is air traffic around you that 

Thank  you  for  purchasing  the  XGPS190 ADS-B 

Receiver from Dual Electronics.
The XGPS190 is designed to receive signals from 

the FAA’s ADS-B ground network and from other 

aircraft operating either UAT (978 MHz) or 1090ES 

(1090 MHz) transceivers. The XGPS190 also in-

cludes an AHRS sensor for use with the synthetic 

vision  feature  included  in  some  EFB  apps.  The 

GPS  receiver  in  the  XGPS190  will  utilize  SBAS 

correction  information  (WAAS  or  EGNOS)  and 

can accurately determine your location anywhere 

in the world.
The XGPS190 can wirelessly transmit information 

to  many  kinds  of  devices  which  have  Bluetooth 

connectivity and support the Bluetooth Serial Port 

Profile (SPP). This includes:

• the iPod touch (generations 2 through 6)

• the iPhone (generations 3G through 6)

• the iPad (1-4), iPad Air (1&2), iPad mini (1-4) 

and iPad Pro (1)

You  can  also  connect  the  XGPS190  to  many 

Android smart phones and tablets. 
NOTE: Not all manufacturers include SPP in their 

devices, even if the device has Bluetooth. Please 

consult the owner’s manual for your specific de-

vice to determine whether it supports SPP.
