Having played around with ADSBScope a freeware aircraft tracking program, it was obvious to me that I needed something a bit more adaptable, more feature rich. The most commonly heard phrase on forums regarding this device is “if it doesn’t work its only a tenner” (or words to that effect), but, it does work, and it has opened up areas of the radio spectrum that was the preserve of dedicated kit costing hundreds if not thousands 10 or more years ago. Imagine for a second though what the hobby would have been given the equipment available today.īut I digress, the RTL USB dongle has really kick started my hobby – initially just as a novelty item – a dirt cheap SDR. I wasn’t short on spotting opportunities what with four local USAF bases just an hour or so away and an active RAF airfield (Coltishall) on my doorstep. That said, back then, this was probably enough. Those were the days! A 494 FS F-111F being pushed back into its HAS after one of its final training sorties in ’92 (no real relevance barring shameless nostalgia!)

You see, PlanePlotter (PP for short) has opened my eyes to what could have been – much in the same way that I wish I could be magically transported back to the 1980’s when the skies above were full of F-111’s, A-10’s, and the occasional SR-71 inbound Mildenhall. Pricey items too, so I stayed clear, but over the past couple of months I have deeply regretted not investigating it further. I vaguely remember somewhere in between a company producing a “radar box”, but these were civvy orientated and my love was military, pure and simple. I was pretty much sorted – not much got past me at my local airfield. The 90’s saw the addition of my first scanner plus a spotting scope for good measure. As time went on I added a 35mm SLR (remember those?) and a collection of high powered lenses. Back in the 1980’s the only tools I had were a pair of binoculars, a copy of Ian Allan’s abc Military Aircraft Markings, a note book and pencil. PlanePlotter Version Reviewed: 6.4.1.0-6.4.1.2 (GS/MU rN)Īs an aviation enthusiast of many a decade I can tell you that this sort of hobby evolves over the years. Note also the KC-135R (QID81) and MC-130J (LEGIT41) Here a USAF E-3C (SHUCK80H) is being successfully Mlated (manually by me – the blue lines are hyper curves used during the process). A prerequisite if you enable sharing in PlanePlotter.Download PlanePlotter At the heart of the PlanePlotter system is Mlat.
#PLANEPLOTTER ANTENNA PC#
Synchronises the PC clock with an atomic clock. Gets aircraft registrations if they're not yet in the SBS-1 database Needed if you want to act as a Master User for multilateration
#PLANEPLOTTER ANTENNA SOFTWARE#
This software intercepts the SBS-1's raw data.

This software enables multiple applications to connect to the SBS-1, e.g. The arrival time of the Mode-S transmissions at each user. Provided that there are sufficient suitable users receiving such an aircraft, PlanePlotter can can determine the position using Mode-S messages without position information.

For a small fee, or even for free provided that you are a regular uploader of raw data, you can use the unique multilateration feature. If you registered PlanePlotter, you can see what other people receive by selecting the "Sharing' option, while other people can see the aeroplanes that you receive. Through a UTP cable, the SBS-1 is connected to the T510. This receiver is connected to the GP1090 antenne with about 5 m Aircell-7 coax. Originally, this was the USB version I have retrofitted it with anĮthernet module. For ADS-B en Mode S airborne beacons, a Kinetic SBS-1 is used.
