Deselect the checkbox to disable transmission. Transmission must be
deactivated when used on an aircraft with an Air Traffic Control Radar
Beacon System (ATCRBS) Mode-S transponder which has ADS-B OUT
enabled.
In certain countries, deactivation may be required based upon location or
altitude. Refer to country-specific addendum.
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 continental Europe and is
not applicable in other regions owing to the use of country specific
FLARM frequencies.
8.3.4 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
hexadecimal format, so you must first convert an octal number to
hexadecimal before entering. Sometimes this value is referred to as Mode
S code. It is critical that the correct address is used. Incorrect addresses
can disturb the service to other airspace users and may have regulatory
compliance consequences.
