1. Does the ADS-B receiver also pick up Mode C in addition to Mode S?
2. As I have a Mode S transponder fitted to my aircraft - do I need the transmitter board in my PolitAware unit as I will be already
Hi Hugh
Just a follow up to Richard.
PilotAware does pickup mode C but does not currently use the data, not sure how useful this info is, because it only provides altitude, but no direction, or distance
You say you have mode S, is it connected to a GPS to provide ADS-B Out ?
If you are providing ADS-B out, then arguably we could disable the P3I-Out, any other PilotAware will receive your ADS-B transmission, but we do need the P3I-In, otherwise you will not see traffic which is ONLY transmitting from PilotAware
