Hi there,

i am willing to test my ADS-B in system, from ground level.

How far from the ground station to I need to be max, in order to receive UAT? 1 mile?

At Wycombe you almost gave to be in the airfield and the antenna visible to you.

It was never intended for reception on the ground, so range is not good.
