While some have managed to resolve the problem through workarounds or support from the manufacturer, it's clear that this is a known issue that requires attention. 3/5 stars (would be 5 stars if the

This seems to be ignored in this report, presumably on the assumption that TCAS validation will prevent there being a problem. Sadly, TCAS validation is not possible in aircraft without TCAS, hence erroneous ADS-B data may be broadcast and presented to pilots in flight, with the attendant risk of a mid-air collision.
