    Yes. You can also check out what your ADS-B Out is broadcasting if you have a Stratus or Sentry ADS-B receiver and use ForeFlight. To do this on the ground, in the airplane with the avionics up and running, go to More>Devices> tap the device and go to the detail. You should see if Ownship is detected and showing your N number, tap on the N number and view what your ADS-B Out is broadcasting. Parameters are green if they are compliant and red if not. You can do a similar thing with Garmin Pilot and its portable devices.

    If you are airborne and at an altitude sufficiently high to be inside radar coverage for a short flight, you can go on line after the flight and get a PAPR report on the performance of your ADS-B Out system from the FAA. It only takes a few minutes and they automatically will email you a report. Use this link: https://adsbperformance.faa.gov/PAPRRequest.aspx
