I'm flying in a country where ADS-B isn't really a thing. There is no mandate so small planes don't install them. However almost everyone flies with Mode S by law except for some ultralights that do local flights.
The way i understand it the system tracks time difference between ping and response of Mode S transponders and estimates the physical distance. There is no directional data at all just proximity and altitude. This is obviously not as good as ADS-B (which this receiver also does) but maybe better than nothing.
Is anyone using this system?
Anything on the market in the same price range? Did some research and the next best thing is a $10,000 active directional tracker from Garmin. The AT-1 costs $2500.
