Remote ID
A plane that sends Remote ID tells every receiver near it who it is and where it is. The receiver is on your plane, not at the station. The range is the range from your plane to the other plane: about a kilometre at best. The station gets the broadcast down the radio link, a few seconds later.
A plane that sends Remote ID gets a marker
If the other plane is sending Remote ID and the distance to the other plane is at most 500 m, wait 5 seconds. The number of markers of other planes on the tactical map is 1. The marker is bright, and it moves with the other plane. The label of the marker says RID.
See it in Seeing a friend who flies near you.
How this is tested verified
Given the other plane is sending Remote ID And the distance to the other plane is at most 500 m When 5 seconds pass Then the map has 1 other plane And the marker of the other plane is live And the source of the marker is Remote ID
Remote ID does not reach far
The receiver on your plane is small. The broadcast of a plane that is more than 1.5 km away does not reach it.
If the other plane is sending Remote ID, the distance to the other plane is at least 1500 m and the map has 0 other planes, wait 5 seconds. The number of markers of other planes on the tactical map is 0.

Given the other plane is sending Remote ID And the distance to the other plane is at least 1500 m And the map has 0 other planes When 5 seconds pass Then the map has 0 other planes
Your own transmitter is not another plane
The Remote ID transmitter on your plane sends the ID of your plane to the autopilot. The station does not show your plane twice.
If your Remote ID is on and the other plane is silent, wait 5 seconds. The number of markers of other planes on the tactical map is 0.
