21 - it is necessary for a reader to distinguish the difference between statement "compatible" and statement "fully compatible".
SoftRF implements only a reasonable minimum of the protocols specs. No "bells and whistles" so far.
2 - Reception of traffic 'downlink' frames only.
3 - also known as "raw ADS-B"
No doubts that an amateur-built non-certified low-cost ADS-B transponder is possible.
It was shown to public by our own "proof-of-concept" study for :
- 1090 ES ("ADSB-Out" GitHub project) in 2017, and
- 978 UAT ("UAT-test-signal" GitHub project) in 2018 .
However, as a certified and instrument rated pilot with 20+ years of experience, in no way I will give a tool for every looser in the world, all he/she can afford is to spend 100 USD for the HackRF One, to abuse the ADS-B technology and compromise my own flight safety and flight safety of every other air law abiding pilot.
SoftRF firmware does intentionally exclude every possibilities to transmit anything on 1090 MHz radio frequency.
Any attempt to contribute the transmit feature into SoftRF from aside will be blocked at very early stage.
