Apologies, I knew it was one of the two.
Exactly, thanks Lee.
PaulSS; all the other stuff you mention in your post is not stuff I was alluding to at all.

Is there a need for locally ground based stations for some of the info?

Given the confusion which exists around all this I'm getting tempted to put together a little interactive site which asks you about your transponder etc and then tells you what some of your options are for in/out, making clear what you could see and who could see you in each case, to make it easier for people to decide what to do - do people think that would be useful?

PAW is the most cost effective way to see what else is out there at moment but need to appreciate limitations.
However, from what I read here the greatest benefit is in the congested areas where the number of aircraft is much greater and they are forced closer together by controlled airspace.

Excellent idea.
A flow chart demonstrating the various options, merits, demerits etc would be great, if difficult to achieve!
