Re: [Aus-soaring] google's ADS-B push

Nigel, How do they propose to get over the congestion on 1090Mhz? It is my understanding that that is why the FAA came up with 978Mhz for ADSB for small aircraft in the lower levels. Thousands of drones will make the problem far worse than 100 or so aircraft in say the LA basin. Mike

Re: [Aus-soaring] Update from Flarm on Unsolicited Email Circulation

Yes, you are right. The drone anticollision problem will likely solve the issue once and for all. Don't hold your breath though. It has only been 20 years and ADSB still hasn't had universal rollout. Presumably it will be an open standard arrived at by international agreement(or disagreement

[Aus-soaring] google's ADS-B push

As previously reported there are some big players pushing the cost of ADS-B, or TABS ( TrafficAdvisoryBroadcastSystem) down to an estimated $500 US. Google have identified that for their drone technology to take hold everyone that flies needs to be fitted with a TABS device and are spending

Re: [Aus-soaring] Update from Flarm on Unsolicited Email Circulation

do you know how many new Flarms are sold each year in Australia? on a Last 5 year average less than 20. I do feel you are both trying to solve a problem where there is nothing really to fuss about. to an earlier point you have both ignored, In time, new, very low cost anti collision devices

My understanding is that the encryption was triggered by privacy advocates who were concerned about the activities of the OGN who are using a network of (many) USB DVB-T radio receivers to collect FLARM data from the ground and making the
