What sort of receiver - antenna, radar, satellite, atc guy with foil hat.. - actually picks up signal from my ADSB equipped transponder?
If I'm in the radar/radio shadow of a hill is my transponder still being picked up, will my crumb trail stop and then restart?
or does my transponder save my track and rat me out when my signal is being received again?
There are lots of legit areas I fly with no radar or radio coverage, I'm assuming I could create even more by turning my xponder to stby ?
...What is it you guys do that you need secret agent stealth mode?
That's interesting, over the years I have had controllers ask me to "squawk standby", many times in many different types of airplanes.I don't think my Garmin GTX23ES can be set on standby. My user manual says it has automatic standby mode, which I took to mean it goes into standby when not in motion. I'm not positive about that part.
I was talking with an atc guy and voiced my thoughts about ads-b being abused by automatically recording trivial FAR violations. (And other things) He said, my guys would never do that! I said, you don't understand...it would be a black box in the back room, you wouldn't even know about it. That shocked him into silence.
Be sure you have a breaker on it that can trip at any time.....
When I was in the computer mainframe fixit trade, I noticed that computers tend to grow cables that snake around under the floor at night looking for other computers to plug themselves into........
I turn on my SPOT when flying alone for the benefit of the wife, I like to think!. But with ADS-B out, the whole world will be at your side:

This is what we have been talking about. It's all about mandated control with the advertised bait of "free" weather and collision avoidance so that you don't ever have to look out the window at all any more except when taking off and landing. Next thing will be a bill in the mail for miles traveled with the information sent to State tax departments so that the States can get in on the action. You pilots who live and fly in remote areas like Alaska have no idea of how privileged you are to be far away from the control and tax freaks. Yes the collision avoidance capabilities are a good safety feature when in crowded airspace, but that is only the frosting on the cake.This is in the article: Hmmm.
Next summer, when the satellite constellation of 70 satellites is complete, it will be able to track ADS-B-equipped airplanes anywhere in the world."It's the biggest innovation since we first started coming to NBAA in 2006," said Daniel Baker, FlightAware founder and CEO. "We'll be able to track every airplane everywhere in the world. This is truly revolutionary."
Even with anonymous mode, you're still showing up – just not showing an N-number. But you could still be tracked all the way back to your hangar or tie-down.Many of us have cell phones and yes they can be tracked. The difference is we choose to have a cell phone, ADS out is a mandate.
I did see uAvionix SkyBeacon supports anonymous mode though.
Absolutely. Class B, C and the mode-C veil is only the camel's nose under the tent. They will roll it out to everyone, even those in remote parts of Alaska. Your N-number will be broadcast on the internet for the world to see, and it won't be "people" monitoring where you fly - it will be bots. User fees, airspace restrictions, and personal security risks will come from this. Kiss your privacy goodbye. I fail to see why some here are so cool with the surveillance state... :sad: .....
....I have ADSB Out and In. I like it. But I don't like the potential down sides to it. It is rather wide spread too. Last week I flew from my home base in NW Montana to Baker City, Oregon and had ADSB coverage almost all of the way. This route took me over some remote country, like Hells Canyon too.
A couple of years ago I was visiting in Iowa. We were driving through Cedar Rapids and as we came to an overpass the driver pointed to a camera/radar installation. He slowed down, even though we weren't speeding, and said that the camera took a picture of your license plate and radar checked your speed. If you speed through there you soon get a ticket in the mail. The same kind of ticket a Trooper would give you if he'd stopped you with lights and a siren.
There are probably other states and overpasses just like that one too.

So has your ADS-B saved you from many near misses in that congested airspace?
