NavWorx ADS-B In Compatibility

[Brantel]

Mode S alone is not ADS-B out.  You need a mode S xponder with the ES extended squitter add on.

With no ground station signal you can get air to air on a 978 receiver or a 1090 receiver or a dual band receiver but you will only see the planes that are on the same band that you have a receiver for.

A mode-S xponder can receive TIS-A traffic.

For areas where you have no ground station reception, a dual band receiver will get all ADS-B out equipped planes.  You just would not see the composite TIS-B based traffic info.

Just to clarify:

Our transponders have 1090ES ADS-B out capability.

Our ADS-B box will have in capability via 978. That means you'll see 978 Out targets directly, as well as all of the 1090ES targets that the ADS-B ground stations rebroadcast, as well as the Mode C and other targets that the FAA's system know about that get broadcasted along side the actual ADS-B targets, also by the ADS-B ground stations. However, 1090ES target's won't bee seen by our ADS-B receiver when you're out of ground station coverage (which only when you're very low to the ground. Coverage is designed to be available above 1800' agl everywhere once the system is fully built out).

Re Dynon comment: Thanks for the verification. My principle thought is remote mountainous areas (Alaska and Rockies) where passes are not going to be covered by ground stations and wx often keeps folks low in the passes or in the traffic pattern below 1800 ft.
