Title: AIRCRAFT SHOWING RANDOM SQUAWK CODES
Post by: hungerford1 on May 13, 2016, 04:39:08 PM
hi, ive currently have an aircraft in the stevenage area miscoding '000000' with 'gsout' in the callsign box but the weird thing is it's generating random squawk codes at the moment it has used 0725,0420,0767 and 0712 at the moment any ideas why it's creating random squawk codes.

Possibly a duff transponder.  Its an RV-8 which should use hex 404DF5

thought it might be, its been on and off my screen for about 3 hours now. at one point it showed 7000ft so wasn't sure if it was the rv8.

The altitude is well within its service ceiling of 22,500 ft (6,858 m)

hex '000000' 'mlwsa' still showing on screen currently showing 16000ft. can't think of a reason why this global express would be show  for 5hours or more unless its doing survey or surveillance work? and its not really m-lwsa?.

Maybe its stuck on your system.  Try unticking and ticking process hardware flights
