airplane transponder decoding

[Tomchow]

Hello,

Anyone know a way to detect those information and have it plot on a map by some sort of sotfware?

Thanks

Not going to happen.
That is all encrypted and unless you have authority from the FAA, you will never be able to do it.

Post 9/11,nobody is going to just put software out there just like that to monitor that encrypted stuff. There is no NEED for an average person to monitor that . To be quite honest, I am surprised that the Feds have not cracked down on ACARS decoding software, which I happen to love.

That's funny lots of people do it.. but it's not cheap.

OK, my mistake. But you are still delayed 5 minutes if you are connected to the network for other cities. That makes this a pointless product, why look for something that was there 5 minutes ago. The only real time info is what you see directly.

I guess if you are into that as a hobby, it might be ok.
Have fun

From RadarBox--
By decoding ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) radar signals, you will be able to see on your computer what real Air Traffic Controllers see on their screens in Real-Time.

Available to Any User and Without Any Limitations.

Yeah, it's more than I would personally spend, I will need a digital scanner soon as the local county system is going digital within the next few months, but it is pretty neat.

From Radar Box:
Why RadarBox / RadarBox vs Competition
edit.....
RadarBox data sharing Network with an Internet connection
o Share your live aircraft data with the RadarBox Network
o All other RadarBox users can see the aircraft you detecting
o You can see ALL aircraft that ALL other RadarBox users are sharing
o Typically in excess of 1000 aircraft displayed on the Network all over the world
o Separate Network flights aircraft list showing aircraft details
o Option to mark Network flights on the map with “*” symbol
o For security reasons, Network data is delayed by 5 minutes. This is an internationally recognised standard and reflects a responsible approach to data sharing by AirNav Systems
o ONLY RadarBox has the data sharing Network function provided as part of the software
o Network access is free for the first 12 months, then access costs only 5 Euros per month (current price Spring 2009)
o If you choose not to subscribe to the Network after your free 12 months, all functions of RadarBox continue to work as normal, with the exception that you cannot see data shared by other users on the Network
...edit

still you have a 5 min delay...

Since I don't own it I can't say for certain, but your qoute is from a forum post in March 2008, my qoute was from their front page under "Announcing RadarBox Network in Real-Time"... so I believe the current announcement supercedes an old forum post.

[JoeyC]

If you are receiving RadarBox data through the RadarBox Network, then there is a 5 minute delay.
If you are receiving the signals through YOUR OWN ANTENNA, then the data is LIVE - (no delay).
Since few aircraft at this time in the US send out ADS-B data you will not see much.

Isn't that what this is all about, and why most of us are on RR?

People keep parroting that comment, which is manifestly untrue if you are near any of the major international airports or overseas air routes. Several major US airlines send location data via that mode. International carriers do, too, and many many of them fly over the US enroute to our airports.

[JoeyC]

That might be wonderful if 50 a/c per hour are sending the data, but when you consider that 500 flights occurred in the airspace, it doesn't sound like many.

I have an AirNav Radar box and it works great. While it is true that many US airliners do not have the proper equipment that this device monitors, almost any new aircraft does, as well as any aircraft that flies internationally.

I live 40 miles from ORD, and the aircraft I "see" most often on my display are international and cargo flights and domestic flights with newer A320, B737/738/739 and RJ's.

Right now above my house is a Spirit A319 en route from Detroit to Las Vegas.

Like a previous poster said, live over-the-air reception is displayed immediately and is not dependent on a network connection, and after buying the device itself is free of continuing charges. Network service, where you can see flights from around the world, is on a 5 minute delay, is free for the first year after you get the box, and requires the box to be connected to the computer and the computer connected to the Internet for service.

[Tomchow]

wow that is exacly what I was looking for; Thanks!

I went through the service options and the coolest service that should be out in november is radarbox 3D. Wich software did you take? If I dont want to bother to hook up an antenna outside can I still see traffic screen from the internet info? Did you try the Flight Simulator integration option?

Thanks again!

[BMT]

Well atleast 1 box owner has commenrd!
I would feel lost without my box!!

I am able to correlate info about comms heard on VHF,UHF and HF.
0722 right now and I only have 36 A/C displayed on my box, in a couple of hour's it will go over 100.

The Kinetic software display's if an A/C is level,climbing or desending. I can also program LAT/LON for airport's and waypoint's here in Central FL.
If an A/C is running full Mode-S,I see everything about the flight except the stew's measurement's.

While I have the AirNav box I have read a bit about the Kinetic's box and it seems to be a Ford vs. Chevy type discussion on which is best. After reading various forum discussions and the company websites I decided upon the AirNav, it seemed to trip my trigger better. It didn't hurt that ScannerMaster (whom I occasionally write for) carries the AirNav box and I was able to get a decent deal.

I like the AirNav, but haven't played with the Kinetic's so I can't comment on which is better.
