VFR Squawk
The SkyEcho transmits a default squawk code. Enter the standard VFR
squawk
- code 7000 in UK
- code 1200 in Australia.
- Whilst he SkyEcho transmits a squawk code, note that this is in a
different Downlink Format from your aircraft transponder and will be
recognized by ATC as orginating from an EC device; it cannot be
interrogated. Enter the standard VFR squawk code for your country in
the SkyEcho 2 setup page. Set squawks as instructed by ATC on
your aircraft’s transponder during flight.
There is no need to alter
the squawk set in your SkyEcho which can remain on the VFR
squawk.
Note: You should not access setup pages in flight.

Aircraft Length and Width in Meters
Note that air/ground behavior for ADS-B is established per RTCA DO-260B
and is dependent upon the emitter category selected.
On the ground, ADS-B transmits encoded aircraft size information which is
used by ATC to identify taxiing routes and potential conflicts. Enter the
length and width (wingspan) (meters) fields and the appropriate size codes
will be calculated for transmission.
