Description: If you are just joining the series, we suggest you start with the first video for an introduction into what you can do with Software Defined Radio (SDR)- goo.gl/drg0wa To do this you need the inexpensive SDR USB Dongle from NooElec- goo.gl/Bmw3w3 adsbSCOPE, RTL 1090, and the NooElec SDR are all you need to begin monitoring aircraft that are flying above you. No reliance on the internet, this is just between your computer and their transponder. Every aircraft has a transponder that "squawks" the aircraft's altitude and identification, some transmit GPS coordinates and much more. It is relatively simple to undertake, fun, and could prove useful someday if the skies are mostly devoid of aircraft.
