No problem...all of this new technology is confusing and difficult to keep straight. I think the feds want us to all be confused so that is why they keep coming up with all these acronyms.

TIS
TIS-B
FIS-B
ADS-R
ADS-B IN
ADS-B OUT
Mode S
Mode S ES
UAT

Gets confusing!

Hi David,

We fixed this problem several months ago for the guys running Trig extended- squitter transponders. Is this a communication issue with the GTX-330ES?

I have been working with Jeff at GRT and it appears that it is, indeed, a communications issue with the 330ES. Jeff should be able to give you the details.

OK, that's good-- Jeff will get the wrinkles out.

Whats required to setup a private ADS-B ground station and I assume have it provide data to ...I'm guessing a network.

Do we need to think about trying to file holes like we are doing with our APRS I-Gates?

Or am I completely out in left field.

Also do they block military traffic from ADS-B users?

Take a look here:

I bought an el cheapo SDR radio off Amazon and had one going in about 10 minutes.

It is easy and very inexpensive...

Someone asked for more details via PM...

here you go:

It was one like this:

http://www.amazon.com/NooElec-RTL-SD...ords=sdr+radio

Don't use the remote or the software that it comes with. Follow the directions on this page:

http://www.flightradar24.com/dvbt-stick

I use RTL1090 as the software that talks to the radio and decodes the ADS-B signal and the FlightRadar24 feeder software to automatically connect to the RTL1090 software and upload the data to FlightRadar24.

There are many more advanced things you can do with that radio but this will get you started.

Hope this helps!

QST magazine had this article on using a low cost SDR for 1090 MHZ
