Squawk 7777 --24/7? x2
« on: September 26, 2008, 03:50:28 PM »
hi there, my RB have been displaying the codes 7777 (2 aircraft) for the last month 24/7. The hex codes are 006552 and 006553.
The only info given in RB is the Mode S code and squawk, no other info.I phoned my local airport's radar controller (FAJS) and he reported nothing on radar? If I disconnect my external antenna the aircraft dissapears, as a result I dont think it's my RB. However using the supplied antenna on a hill nearby, they are back and also coded 006551 and 006554 ? (4 aircraft) or rather transmitters?

I live in a vally 5nm north of FAJS and have coverage 100ft agl from takeoff and landing aircraft.

can someone maby explain this?

Regards
Marc

Squawk 7777 is allocated to SSR Transponder Trials according to my list of squawk codes.  So probably some sort of local testing being carried out.

Hi Mark,
            I don`t  if you have this Squawk (7003) but i had an alert today and low and behold abvout 30 secs later over came the Red Arrows(its their transit code).Nice to see on the RB,but even better,or a bonus when they shoot past at about 2000ft.Just popped those codes into Airframes.Org and they both come back as from Mozambique,no aircraft details, just their country of origin.
                                     Regards Terry.
