It’s very fun! I use it to monitor for low flying aircraft around a farm where I am doing some drone experiments. The legal drone limit in my area is 400 feet above ground level and near the hills some aircraft fly pretty low, so I’m going to ground the drone any time an aircraft is nearby that is not above 10kft.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoI highly recommend not relying on SDR ADS-B reception alone and also checking online data systems for ADS-B that also use multilateration to track aircraft using their transponder when they aren’t ADS-B capable. Otherwise you might be operating under the assumption there are no contacts in your working airspace when there is aircraft present but not announcing their location. https://flightaware.com/adsb/mlat/ https://flightaware.com/adsb/mlat/
- ericbarrett 5y agoYou need both data sources—a number of planes are “delisted” from the commercial trackers and won’t show up, but they still broadcast ADS-B. You can find partial lists of such registrations through a keen Google search.
