Are you sure? As I understand it, unless you transmit ADS-B out, you will not get all the UAT ADS-B out traffic. You will only see them when a UAT ADS-B out is getting traffic info for all the traffic near him. And you have to be in range of a ground station.
1090ES and UAT ADS-B out devices continuously transmit position and velocity vector once or twice per second (I'm hazy on which it is). A ground station may suppress transmission of TIS-B and ADS-R, if there is no ADS-B target of the corresponding type in the coverage area.
