ADSB Ground Station Data Stream

[JohnWF]

I wonder if someone could 'point' me to a website where I can get detailed info on the data sent by ADSB ground stations, like how often, what area is the wx they xmt cover, and so on. Stuff I can find is just general overviews of ADSB. Thanks for any help.

Time is easy, and the AIM covers it in section 4-5-9

The area covered and such is much more complex. It depends on what kind of ADS-B tower you can hear (there are 4 types), and which product you are discussing. I don't know of a good table for that. In general, you always have METARS and NEXRAD for a couple hundred miles around you at a minimum.
