I am considering purchasing a SkyEcho ADS-B but before I depart with £600, please can anyone provide a testimonial?

The SkyEcho is an ADS-B device. It does not claim to support the display of plain mode C and mode S data, and does not do so.

The display of plain mode C and S data (i.e. "there is an aircraft somewhere around, at about your height, but we don't know where") is a useless feature (in my humble opinion) serving only to distract the pilot with a warning telling something they should already be assuming. ‌‌

This is why SkyDemon has an option to switch off this "useless feature", right? Honestly, please leave this feature as it is, there are hundreds if not thousands of TRX devices in the air (at least in Germany, not all at the same time though) and I am pretty sure that a substantial amount of pilots use this feature (including myself).
