Re: SDR Devices
sp1989 thanks for all of your info. Got everything working and it is kind of fun. I am using the NESDR Smart with RTL1090 and Plane Plotter. Even with the antenna inside, I am picking up aircraft for at least 20 miles from my location. I am trying to get ACARS messages as well, but haven't quite fig...

Re: SDR Devices
So how do you receive/decode ADS-B? What kind of antenna is used? Sounds like it might be kind of fun to receive, but I am in Murrieta. I can pick up LAX approach control for a short time, but I am not sure if this would work or not for me here.

Re: SDR Devices

SDR Devices
I recently picked up a Nooelec Smart SDR receiver kit (for about $28). There are also several competing brands that are similar (RTL-SDR, etc.), mostly available on Amazon. It is an interesting device that will basically connect to your computer via USB and act as a spectrum analyzer and receiver fr...

Re: 217.350Mhz
I kind of suspected that, but it didn't seem to make sense that they would be covered that far away from the park. Thanks for your response.

217.350Mhz
I have noticed heavy traffic on 217.350 which comes in crystal clear in central Murrieta. Seems to be related to some kind of bus or concession operations, but I can think of nothing in 25 miles that would match this. Checked the FCC database, and see nothing that matches either. Any idea what is op...
