Using Stratus 2 or 3 + FF I don't see those extraneous fields. Maybe a side-effect of Scout as the receiver?

I do have an anomaly I've reported to Foreflight and sent them logs: When ADS-B 1090 ES targets are near a ground station (in particular, the one near Bend, OR), and you open up the target detail the target will flop back and forth between 1090 ES and UAT TIS-B). This isn't even noticeable unless you elect to look at the detail. I'm using Stratus 3 + latest FF.

As far as I can see it's the proximity of the target to the tower, not my proximity to either the target or the GS. But this is a snapshot observation on my part and may not be 100% true.

BTW, I've noticed a fairly high number of ADS-B aircraft whose Ground mode is not correctly configured OR the pilot is not enabling on the ground.

Thanks for the ground mode info Rich, that may well be the issue While I have a Scout also, I only used it for backup checking of the info. My main receiver now is the GTX345r and that is where the blank fields show from. The Scout/FF do not ever produce such fields.
