I used to have ownship ghost when I had the Skyguard transceiver ---- have not had any issue since I installed the Navworx EXP in my RV-6A--- but, at the time I installed the Navworx, I alson installed a new radio stack with a Garmin 327 transponder, getting encoder from Dynon, and then feeding the Navworx.

Spoke with FreeFlight Sytems support today and I am receiving a reflection (secondary target) of myself which is the ground stations producing a TIS-B off of my xpndr ( difference in altitude of 500 feet or less with no ID). I do know that non-equipped ADS-B craft with at least a Mode C xpndr are relayed as targets which is nice, but were talking out of the blue less that 500 foot targets.  The FAA is working on an update to the ADS-B software system at this time. In the mean time, I am going to set my encoder to 10 foot increments ( IFR) and try and reduce the altitude differences if any between the encoder and xpndr ( GTX 327). I'll fly this weekend, take notes and we'll see. Also, any changes the FAA makes with the TIS-B echos will help indeed; the question is how long will it take! There was also a mention of the "Moving Map Software" capability of digesting the data correctly  being sent from the 978 Ranger UAT, but that is way down the road after the FAA ADS-B system update.

Yes, I get it on the Uavionics in-only unit. Scares the hell out of me, as it looks like someone is right on my tail. When flying into or through high-density areas (like Sun 'n Fun), I try to ignore all traffic indications and double up on the Mark II eyeballs.

Definately TIS-B secondary reflection from Xpndr after the Radar 2-3 sweeps for position. We'lll see what the FAA comes with as far as an update.

Looks like the Feds have made corrections to the TIS-B sweepd and of course with ghost aircraft filtering turned on, I see NO ghosting anymore.

Anybody else lately?
