Mode-C is detected but cannot be
shown on the screen as it doesn’t
provide a GPS
location.
† For the Mode S transmissions to work there must be sufficient local 360 RADAR MLAT
stations in the area. There are over 1300 installed in the UK. Installation of more
inexpensive 360 RADAR receivers around your site (10Kms) will improve the MLAT
availability and see aircraft at lower levels. Contact 360RADAR.
