Surely the solution to the original problem is given in the thread, just set the own ship filter on?

There is a TIS-B trial ongoing with the full backing of the CAA. The ADS-B settings were contributed to the briefing note as an AIC could not be fitted in to the AIRAC cycle before transmission started. The trial started late and so has been extended to Dec 21. As with transmission of ownship from an SE2 or an ADS-B transponder, ghosting would be eliminated by turning on the ADS-B Filter (aka ‘Ownship Filter’) in the SkyEcho 2 (SE2) settings but users should also set their own HEX code in the aircraft library of SkyDemon. Users will ONLY see TIS-B if they have selected the second receiver to UAT AND ADS-B In it set to UAT (most people normally ignore this setting so some are seeing it and some are not). This was explained for the AIC but that hasn’t come out yet.
The trial is pushing out MLAT data on Mode S transponders and FLARM rebroadcast (as you have to select UAT not FLARM) to see the TIS-B. It is intended as an enhancement of situational awareness to demonstrate the value of TIS-B in the UK. It allows users to see every common form of EC broadcast except PAW. The ownship filter equally applies to any SE2 user who transmits ADS-B either from their transponder or their SE2. The main lesson is that they also need to set their HEX code in SkyDemon to guarantee the filter as if they fly multiple ac and have the wrong one set in Sky Demon it can cause ghosting in a TIS-B environment. So they need to make sure correct aircraft selected in SkyDemon and they have correctly populated each aircraft’s HEX in the library.

No. uAvionix have still not bothered to acknowledge receipt of the emails I have sent, let alone come back with an informative reply as I requested.
I remain very unimpressed.

The service is part of a trial that is underway around Goodwood Aerodrome that aims to develop new surveillance technology and operational procedures in support of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLoS) operations.
