I have ADS-B in/out. When I fly around with a friend who has a Garmin 330 ES transponder in his plane he never shows up as "traffic" on my displays.
Figuring it was his plane's transponder we joined up and contacted Joshua Approach Control for radar identification. Joshua identified both of us at the correct altitudes and positions.
I was showing on my display reception from three ground stations, TIS-B traffic operating, and ADS-B traffic operating.
On the way back to the airport after flying together for 30 minutes with ground station reception, his plane popped up on my display with the correct altitude and position for about 3 seconds then disappeared again for good.
I seem to be picking up every other target in my vicinity with proper position, trend and altitude. We flew in many different positions, above, below etc to eliminate antenna masking.
It has me and him stumped. Anybody have any ideas what is causing this?
