8.3.2 1090ES Transmit
This setting configures SkyEcho 2 for transmission. Select the checkbox to
enable transmission. (Note: Transmit functionality is currently approved for
use only in the United Kingdom. If flying outside of the UK, configure the
device for receive functionality only or consult your local regulator for
approval.)
Deselect the checkbox to disable transmission.
8.3.3 Receiver Mode
The SkyEcho 2 contains dual receivers. The primary receiver is configured
for 1090MHz ADS-B. The secondary receiver can be configured for either
978MHz UAT ADS-B, or FLARM® Reception. Only one option can be
selected.
When selecting UAT, SkyEcho 2 will be able to receive 978MHz UAT ADS-
B weather and traffic information.
When selecting FLARM, encrypted FLARM data is received and
transmitted to the EFB application for processing. Specific FLARM
functionality (proximity warnings or FLARM target depiction) is dependent
upon the EFB functionality implemented.
8.3.4 Region
Settings for either UK/Europe or Australia are preset by selecting the
appropriate checkbox to the region in which you will operate. Note FLARM
reception is not applicable to Australia.
8.3.5 Aircraft Address Programming (ICAO Address)
The ICAO address is a 24-bit number issued to the aircraft by the
registration authority of the aircraft. These addresses are usually written as
a 6-digit hexadecimal number, although you may also encounter one
written as an 8-digit octal number. The SkyEcho 2 understands the
hexadecimal format, so you must first convert an octal number to
hexadecimal before entering. Sometimes this value is referred to as Mode
S code. In the UK to find the ICAO address of the aircraft you will be flying
go to https://siteapps.caa.co.uk/g-info/
