I can't find a description of the function "Mode s maximum range" . I have searched and can't find an explanation. Thanks Steve

Steve,

I cant guarantee its correct but I would suggest that this is the maximum theoretical range from your location, anybody got a better answer?

Thanks. The question still remains though,What does the button marked"Mode S maximum range" do if anything? Steve

It is as Runway 31 says.

If you press the button it will show a circle on the map showing the maximum theoretical range from your position. You may need to zoom out a wee bit to see it.
