      Assuming your ADSB-IN is dual channel (both 978 & 1090mhz) you will get all plane-to-plane
      broadcasts regardless of altitude. As more folks get ADSB-OUT there
      will be fewer holes (transponder-only) to be filled in by the ground station
      broadcast. My home base is under a Class B Mode C veil so, in theory, everyone
      with a transponder will be broadcasting ADSB-OUT this time next year. Nothing
      is perfect and you still need to see and avoid.

      Folks,
      
      Thinking out loud and seeking opinions....
      
      I have a Monroy ATD-200 in my panel which has not been working - getting ready
      to remove it.  Monroy has a newer model out so the upgrade option to fill the
      panel space is still there...
      
      I also have ADS-B in and out installed and displaying on my 430W and MX-20 devices.
      
      Since both the ATD series and the ADS-B depend on everyone else having and using
      their transponders, the ATD will miss transponder-less aircraft and the ADS-B
      will only tell you what the ground radar is reporting - if you are in range
      of a ground transmitter station.  For transponder equipped and on aircraft the
      ATD series will still fill the gap when you are flying at a lower altitudes and
      either ADS-B doesn't see you or you are out of range of a ground station.
      
      Is this worth getting repaired/replaced?  Or will ADS-B get better at lower altitudes?
      
      Thoughts please!
      
      Thanks,
      Ralph
