I'm certainly no electrical engineer, but their explanation of filtering out your own transmission so you can hear an incoming one does not resolve the problem of two aircraft calling at the same time to a listening third party as they state.

To my mind you would be able to hear the other aircrafts tx while you were also txing but the third party would hear both transmissions on top of each other, no?

That's my understanding as well, it allows full duplex between 2 stations but as soon as you add another it's the same situation we've always had.

Yeah, but you since both transmitting aircraft could hear the other, they would stop transmitting as soon as they heard the other aircraft rather than completing their transmissions and wasting 15 or 20 seconds of air time with everyone else listening to the squeal.

And think of the improvement in ACARS speed.... ground stations could hear inbound traffic even while they are transmitting, and VV.

... or we might just end-up with both stopping at the same time telling the other to go ahead! :Scratch-Head:

I can just imagine the conversation:

- (Both at the same time)

ATC: I'm sorry go ahead

Pilot: No, you started first, you go ahead.

ATC: Are you sure? 'cause I can wait.

Pilot: No, really, you first... but can we get lower now?

:Grin-Nod:

So what's wrong with that? wink_smile.gif
