General Discussion / Re: Verifying Mode S ES ADS-B Out transponder setup - Can PilotAware help?

« on: June 12, 2016, 12:13:39 am »

If anyone has a Becker BXP6401 transponder (I recall Welsh Flyer does), I complained to the company about them setting SDA=2 after they indicated they would NOT update the firmware, and the SDA setting also seemed at odds with the fact that SIL was set to zero. I let  them know that they appeared to be out of step with other manufacturers in these matters.

I received a reply from their General Manager that they will update their ADS-B offerings to support this but we will have to wait until second quarter of 2016.

Hi does anyone know if Becker has updated the SDA code and if so how to resolve this for a BXP6401 already installed? Thanks

General Discussion / PilotAware plus Mode S

Hi, if I have PilotAware PLUS a mode S transponder (with extended  squitter) will that raise any issues for others nearby with PilotAware receiving two signals from my aircraft? Thanks

Response from Lee:
No problem whatsoever, PilotAware works on a totally different frequency and has been CE Tested (to death!) and will not interfere
PilotAware(P3I) - 869Mhz
Transponder - 1090Mhz

We have lots of users who are outputting both ADS-B and P3I.
