remote id broadcast verification

has anyone had any luck verifying that their drone is broadcasting remote id? i don't mean the little tag that comes up in the controller that says it's not working. i've looked into drone scanner and open drone id and can't get either working on any of our mobile devices. i've watched the video mile high drone services did of their device that can receive remote id broadcasts, and it looks pretty good so we might buy one of them to play with.

we're not too worried about the newer drones at work that broadcast remote id, but we will need to buy remote id devices to attach to our older drones. we would like to verify that those devices are actually broadcasting as advertised.

This has been a topic of discussion on the Mavic Pilot's Forum ever since last November and there appear to be several detectors on the market right now for seeing the signals. I do see that my Mavic 3 is sending at least according to my AirData logs which show it initializing and passing all of its checks.

we have the airdata logs and we run airdata on the rc pro with a hotspot or wifi signal from our drone bus while we're flying because we broadcast our live video feed back to an ops room. our real concern is verifying the after market remote id broadcast devices, which we don't think will show on airdata. we want to test receiving remote id data with the mavic 3 to make sure we are seeing remote id broadcasts before checking a few remote id devices for older drones. we can't get open drone id to show any of our mavic 3s during test flights, we've tried a few different android devices. looks like most people were able to get open drone id working on 01.00.0900, but we're on .1000 now.
