Thanks Support.
I have an outside aerial, no pre-ap,  and a polor diagram that covers the whole UK.
I am getting puzzled between ADS-B and Mode-s signals. I thought a mode-s signal was a 'packet' within ADS-B.
Is it p[ossible to switch off the priority so I can see either one or the other, without discon the aerial?
Surely, everybody must suffer this at the edges of their receive coverage but they do not know it?

Other way round.

ADS-B data is contained in a 'packet' within a Mode S transmission.

Hi Dave, I'm sure you, Allocator or Tarbat will be able to answer this one (I've tried Search for it, but haven't come up with the answer) - at the bottom of Mylog, it shows number of messages per sec. - what exactly does a message consist of - a certain number of bits/bytes or what?    What constitutes a "packet"

Tried that link, clear as mud to me!    Exactly what data is passed and encoded, sorry if this seems a dumb-arse question, but I'm having a job trying to understand this info., as sometimes it can be tens or even hundreds/.........

Surely, everybody must suffer this at the edges of their receive coverage but

Obviously you can filter what you hear, but you can't get everyone to stop transmitting.  They all transmit on the same frequency.  ADS-B is an extended Mode-S feature, where the airplanes broadcast their lat/lon and other goodies.  Meanwhile the little puddle jumpers are transmitting Mode-A and Mode-C, and a bunch are transmitting Mode-S without the extended ADS-B.

You could open your window and shout: "Shut Up!"  Youre neighbors might call the hospital on you though...

Hi Dave, thanks for the reference, but £112 for the info. is a bit too much, a couple of quid, yes, but I'm not £112 worth curious!

Many thanks for that link Steve.    I've saved it as a pdf, so I can read at my leisure and (best of all) no cost!!!

No problem.  A lot of the stuff can be ignored, like the 20 pages of altitude bit code and the Collision and Avoidance bo-jive chapter at the end.
