iPad Mini 4 with the latest update... and ghost filtering on.   Two funky issues....  the first one didn't directly affect me, but was pretty odd:

This double image wasn't a ghost image, it was a real aircraft (I visually spotted it before it got behind me).  But there were two icons, pointed in different directions, with the same ID name, and it/they moved around with the aircraft.  Very odd.

The second one was an "atypical" ghost (and yes I had ghost filtering on).

At least it wasn't that weird box/diamond that I've seen a couple of times, but this one was different from my previous ghosts in that it was pointed away from me.  Usually when I have a ghost, it pointed in the exact same direction and is immediately behind me with just a little gap between me and it.  This one followed me (alerting like crazy) for about a minute.  Very odd.

You sure you didn't accidentally breach prohibited airspace? haha

So you were probably getting false readings from an issue with their ADS/B out transmission. 

What -IN solution are you using?

(Sorry about not following up... somehow I missed this reply!).  My -IN (as well as my -OUT) are spec'd in my signature line... i.e., EchoUAT

I'm guessing the traffic is duplicated because one is from the 978 channel, the other from 1090.  Typically the ADSB device combines these into one message, not sure why that is failing here.
