Only certain countries have allocated their Mode S discrete addresses on an aircraft tail number basis. Those countries that have encoded the tail numbers have each used different software algorithms. IFR ATC-601 V3.03R and above firmware can decode USA, Canadian, French, German, Swiss & Danish tail numbers.
