Any idea what the FAA sees when my tailbeacon is on and transponder off?

Do you have a mac laptop? If so, I can walk you through discovering this for yourself with a $25 radio dongle from Amazon.

Unfortunately I no longer have access to a skybeacon. I tested another airplane that was in for annual when I was helping with mine, but because it wasn't mine, I did nothing more than turn on the transponder and skybeacon when it was outside.

If I get access to another one, I'll try to test, but according to the specs it should spit out your tail number.
