If you're scared of downloaded applications, then just download the source in the root directory, inspect it to make sure these is nothing nasty in there (there isn't AFAIK) and then compile it yourself. For more trusting/oblivious souls the pre compiled exe and the associated DLL's are in the /Release and /Debug sub directories. The Git (what an appropriate name for such an unusable interface!) repository is at . It should compile under Linux on a RPi as well, but I haven't tried it. I've only checked it as a windows console application build in Visual Studio C++6.0. You can then compare the useable Mode S and ModeA/C frames between different receiver types. At the risk of opening a real can ow forms, and since you're one of the few able to run two recievers/decoders in parallel, you might be interested in the following. What's more important to the PlanePlotter community? The extra message rate / slightly extra NM distance from the AirSpy, or mode A/C capability with an RTL-SDR dongle? Both are fed from the exact same antenna via a pre-amp, bandpass filter, and passive splitter, so it's a fairly good comparison.įrom discussion on the AirSpy list, adding Mode A/C capability to ADSB-Spy is not a high priority, and unlikely to happen anytime soon. I might get another 20 NM coverage out of the AirSpy as well. As an example, right at this moment, PlanePlotter is reporting 660 messages per second and my PiAware is reporting 584 messages / second. When I compare AirSpy / ADSB-Spy performance against my dongle, I get significantly better performance from the Air-Spy / ADSB-Spy over the RTL-SDR.

Ground station EP in Northern Alabama, USA uses an AirSpy receiver with the ADSB-Spy software.

This is likely a question for Bev and the PlanePlotter management team.but figured it might generate some interesting discussion.
