ADS-B receivers and phantom traffic alerts.

For those of yo that have been using the portable ADS-B receivers in your aircraft such as Sentry, Stratus, Stratux, or any of the handful available to GA pilots, have you experienced phantom, traffic alerts via your Electronic devices?

I imagine that by repositioning the receiver in the aircraft, might allow better antenna location but I was also wondering if this is something "prone" to the portable units. I have been getting a rash of phantom alerts recently and the only thing I can come up with is unit location, but it has been just been in the past couple of days and the receiver hasn't moved. Either that it could be those pesky "TICTACKS" and due to the speeds involved, I am just not seeing them....LOL! I am running a Stratux so I know that is an experimental ADS-B receiver and I have been eyeing the "Sentry" by Uavionix, so that brought up the question if the phantoms are prone to all of the devices. Anyone care to chime in on this?

Took the wifey for a flight last night and as I was doing the pre-flight, CDF bombers went screaming by close to pattern altitude headed to a spot fire south of our field. I would really hate to get a phantom alert only to see one of these fast movers headed in from another direction. As they say, the C-150 is the only aircraft that can take a birdstrike from the rear.

Sincerely,
Curious

I always thought of the 150/152 as an early gen Miata. They don't have an abundance of power, but they fit so well. Of course a Champ or J3 would be like a Lotus 7. A Carbon Cub would be more akin to a V8 Caterham Super 7.

Hahaha, I like it!!!

In all fairness, my only gripe is the power deal. We have owned this lil guy since 2003 and it doesn’t get any more affordable regarding aircraft ownership.

Cheap to feed and insure and overall own. It’s light on the controls and a good trainer, simply because you can’t use power to get yourself out of a hole.

I offered it up for the boys and the Mrs. to learn in but no nibbles. I would have given my left nut for that opportunity had my dad offered.
