We have recently turned the ADSB 'ON' in the en route environment. We are not using it for anything yet but we are seeing it. If you are equipped with ADSB out and your transponder is set to VFR, we'll see a limited data block (LDB) associated with a target. The LDB will contain your registration number and your altitude. Before ADSB we would just see the target and the altitude.
It can be a little confusing because some of the flight schools use a call sign associated with their school instead of their registration number. If there is no flight plan, I will see their registration number and they will be telling me their school call sign. The display is a normal full data block once we have the aircraft on a discreet beacon code and a flight plan is entered.
