Leigh, This may be the start of an eventual transfer to ADS-B. This system uses Mode S Transponders, which have unique codes built into them for every separate aircraft. This means that wherever you are, Airservices can find you. If you are a good boy, this is no problem. If you are not a good boy, you can't hide ! (No quoting different rego over the radio when quizzed by Airservices ;-) ) Cheers, John G. _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
