A couple days ago I flew and a king air was departing an airport a couple miles off the nose. I watched him takeoff and disappear into the distance. He never showed up on my display. I have the navworx EXP model UAT transceiver. Here are a few questions: (He was heading towards class C airspace so I'm assuming all his equipment was working).
1. Can the FAA cause this by blocking a single for only the affected navworx units?
2. Mine is a single band unit. The king air was probably 1090 since they fly over
18K feet. Should/can I pick him up air to air? (I don't think so since I'm only
978 in).
3. If I can't receive his 1090 signal air to air, should I be able to receive it from
the ground stations by their "rebroadcast" single? (I would think so BUT....
one training video led me to believe this isn't the way it is because it would
create two signals, one a ghost, for the same plane on my display).
Hope I've asked the questions clearly enough.
