I can't receive Mode S only data. Regards Tony Thank you, I know that its not available at the moment, but it seems that it was at least on the product roadmap - so my question is, whats the status here: It is still presented as a feature on some product pages: Non-ADS-B Transponder Proximity Detection SkyEcho 2 enhances awareness with a beta feature which alerts you to nearby aircraft which have a Mode C or Mode S transponder, but no ADS-B output. Using the SSR and TCAS transponder replies, SkyEcho 2 and the supported EFB application can detect and alert you if one of these aircraft are nearby and within a dangerous altitude band. For example here: https://pilotenshop.be/?product=uavionix-skyecho-ii-portable-ads-b-transceiver This was my purchase decision, I have to say - and now you are telling me, there is no such feature?
