ACTUAL APPLICATION

See the radar in action.

These images come from the application rather than a simulated web interface. They illustrate individual workflows and may differ from newer development builds.

Live radar and everyday controls

Follow aircraft directly from your antenna, customize the interface, and find previously received contacts.

Spotter Mode

Select any airport worldwide and center the radar view on it. The box checks the distance to your receiver and warns if the airport is too far away for practical local reception. Only aircraft actually received by your antenna can appear; selecting an airport does not provide remote ADS-B coverage.

A note from our test location: We currently live too far from the nearest commercial airport to put Spotter Mode through realistic arrival and departure testing. Once our custom enclosure has been 3D-printed and the portable ADS-B Radar box is fully assembled, we plan to take it to an airport for proper field tests. The screenshots show the current development version, not the results of an airport field trial.
