man ill start by saying this im sorta a noob to this also but I LOVE IT!!! i read this and theres a pdf link on page one here and thats how i got mine setup http://forums.radioreference.com/aircraft-data-decoding/281356-virtual-radar.html

Lots of good information in that link reconrider8! (And I am not just saying that because I started it!)

But here is the main document you will need to get started: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/QST/This Month in QST/January 2014/VirtualRadarJan2013QST.pdf

You don't need to build the antennas described in the article to get started. I still use the little mag mount antenna that came with the dongle and I can receive data from aircraft 200 miles away.

Good luck!
