The FAA's ADS-B system runs on two incompatible frequencies - UAT and 1090ES - creating real traffic display gaps every GA pilot should understand.
VectorTwo ADS-B-compliant aircraft can be invisible to each other due to America's dual-frequency mandate - understanding why matters most in mountain terrain.
VectorRadio Hangar explores The Two ADS-B Links, Ten Ninety ES and Nine Seventy-Eight UAT, and Why the FAA Has to Rebroadcast Traffic So the Two Halves of the Sky Can See Each Other.
