It may depend on local practices but in my experience they do usually send the flight/tail number. Of the thousands of planes I track each week it's very rare to see one that is only the hex number and then it's usually just for a short while before it switches to the flight number. It's when tracking ships with ais.pl that I seldom see the vessel name sent. > On Sun, Dec 11, 2016 at 9:34 AM, F1MHV <[email protected]> wrote: > > Good day group, > > > > I am enjoying the ADS-B input into Xastir/OSX: great! > > > > Meanwhile, could-it be possible to get in the mobile stations list > > (View->Mobile Stations) the flight number (ex: BAW709) which is falling > > actually into the Tactical Call, instead of transponder hex address?
