Hi VAF team (and hopefully Garmin reading this)
I am yet to reach out to Garmin to ask however, Saw some discussion today on Garmin transponders (e.g. a GTX45R) and that they filter out and exclude ADSB Mode S traffic from electronic conspicuity (EC) type transponders such as the uAvionox Sky Echo devices.
In Australia our ATC services will filter out such EC devices on our Class C & D airspace and they are not permitted for use as a compliant transponder. They do this by filtering out based on the SIL code that the EC devices squawk.
The whole purpose of these EC devices is to assist with traffic management so seem rather odd to me that Garmin may choose to exclude such devices from traffic pages/warnings on the GTX series of transponders.
Just wondering if anyone has any comments/experience with EC devices and Garmin traffic?
I am keen to so some trials locally once I can track down someone with an EC device.
Regards,
Byron.
