Dear safesky users and support goeroes. It still happens that I see a plane flying very close to me, which happens to be the plane that I fly in.

I have ofcourse configured this plane in safesky, I have selected a Mode-S transponder and the Hex code is inserted.

Any suggestions how to solve this?

I assume that you have checked the HEX code you entered in SafeSky is correct and matches what you programmed into your Mode S transponder?

If so, do you have any other transmitting equipment like FLARM in your aircraft?

Today I flew a different plane. Same problem.

I have only a Mode-S transponder in both planes, nothing else,

To clarify the picture. I was flying the PH-RGJ. And it shows correctly on downwind.

With a second plane besides me, which is also the PH-RGJ.

Robert,

Can you please confirm that your HEX code is **486748** and is correctly programmed into the Safesky app?

Hi Antony  
For the PH-RGJ (Sonaca S200) I entered the Hex code 9E8DD2  
and for the PH-MSA (C172) 3D06FD

Do you think these codes are not correct?

Thanks for helping  
Robrt

Hello Robert,

When I search for those registrations using ADS-B EXCHANGE I get different hex codes.

For RGJ: 486748

For MSA: 4866EB

Try those next time.

Where are you getting your hex codes from?

Hello @Robert ,

I confirm what @tnowak spotted: here are your correct Mode-S hex codes:

Once entered in SafeSky, you will no longer have duplicates for yourself.

Fly Safe, and thanks @tnowak 🙂

Tristan

Excuse me. For other planes: can you please explain where to find the correct HEX codes?

Best regards, Robert

Hello,

In the UK I go to the Civil Aviation Authority register of aircraft. You enter the registration of the aircraft and it lists all details, including the HEX code.

I expect you have something similar in your country?

Hi Tristan, I had a similar problem today with Safesky in connection with the Aerotracker. The aircraft OE-ANW is correctly set up with the Hexcode 440475 and ADS-B and was selected both in the settings for external traffic device as well as on the main page before pressing the takeoff button.

 ![IMG_6706](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/safesky/original/1X/e6ffd02cdce5954f9e700c28876cf3c6aa4f155f.jpeg)

The next 2 pictures were taken only a few seconds apart- first one with Aerotracker selected as external device and second using location service.

 ![IMG_6702](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/safesky/original/1X/21f6cfe92dae668f77ea4854b45532387e69c45c.png)

And here another picture taken about 5 minutes later with Aerotracker selected again as external device.

Can you suggest a resolution?
