The question is about the value of dual band receivers in an aircraft that has ADSB In and OUT receiving on the UAT .
For someone who has only ADSB IN service, I understand that the 1090 band gives them the ability to see directly the other XponderES equipped plane without getting that same info from ground broadcast.( Otherwise they might not get, having IN only). For someone who has ADSB In and OUT installed and is receiving on the UAT or 978 band, Would not that same aircraft with the xponder ES show up on his traffic broadcast from the ground station?
My question is : Would someone with a full operation UAT system( IN & OUT) need or have any value from a dual band receiver. What raised this was I notice the NavWorX ADS600-EXP offers an option for the 1090 (dual band). Looks like an order at present would include only hardware with software to follow later. Just questioning the value of that option. However, There's still a lot I don't understand about this at the present, but for now just one question at a time.
