8.3.2 1090ES Transmit
This setting configures SkyEcho for transmission. Select the checkbox to
enable transmission. (Note: Transmit functionality is currently approved for
use only in the United Kingdom and Australia. If flying outside of these
locations, configure the device for receive functionality only or consult your
local regulator for approval.)
Deselect the checkbox to disable transmission.
8.3.3 Receiver Mode
The SkyEcho contains dual receivers. The primary receiver is permanently
configured for 1090MHz ADS-B. The secondary receiver can be
configured for either 978MHz UAT ADS-B, or 868.4MHz FLARM®
reception (European frequency only). Only one option can be selected.
When selecting UAT, SkyEcho will be able to receive 978MHz UAT ADS-B
weather and traffic information if available.
When selecting FLARM, encrypted FLARM data is received and
transmitted to the EFB application for processing. Specific FLARM
functionality is dependent upon the EFB functionality implemented. Note,
FLARM reception is only applicable in the EU and not applicable in
Australia due to a difference in FLARM frequency between Europe
and Australia.
8.3.4 Region
Settings for either UK/Europe or Australia are preset by selecting the
appropriate checkbox to the region in which you will operate.
UK and Australia have different transmit settings for SDA. An SDA value of
0 is transmitted in the UK, while an SDA value of 1 is transmitted in
Australia. The RTCA standards require SDA =1 before data can be
presented to aircraft with certified ADS-B In systems.
8.3.5 Aircraft Address Programming (ICAO Address)
The ICAO address is a 24-bit number issued to the aircraft by the
registration authority of the aircraft. These addresses are usually written as
a 6-digit hexadecimal number, although you may also encounter one
written as an 8-digit octal number. The SkyEcho understands the
