Plane Watching and Software Defined Radios (SDR)

August 2, 2014

A couple of weeks ago I invested a massive $12 in a very cool gadget called an SDR (go look it up!)

I initially set up a piece of free software called Visual Radio, but have since added the output from my SDR to a growing network..

See plane.watch, scroll over to Adelaide, and watch the planes come and go from Adelaide Airport in real time!
