A quick search on the net using “Classic Aero MH370” will produce thousands of results. In the advent of MH370, Classic Aero has become a well-known name. Such signals are typically around 1.5Ghz and can be received with a simple low gain antenna that can be home brewed in a few hours in conjunction with a cheap RTL-SDR dongle. Demodulation is performed using the soundcard.
JAERO is a program that demodulates and decodes Classic Aero ACARS ( Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) messages sent from satellites to Aeroplanes (SatCom ACARS) commonly used when Aeroplanes are beyond VHF range. The PlanePlotter group has all the support you'll need and I am happy to give advice where needed.JAERO A program to demodulate and decode Classic Aero SatCom ACARS signals
The smaller antenna also give a little longer coverage on those inclined birds. In theory we should be using dishes in excess of 3m, but good data is being received by antenna as small as 1.2m We have found that the Titanium series of PLL C band lnbs are very stable, but initially why not try out your existing lnb. If, like me you have a and antenna and are looking for something different.this is for you! loop the IF to a cheap RTL dongle, feed that into SDR# and the resulting data into JAERO.įrom there the information is fed into PlanePlotter.and bingo, a/c tracking on the map. We also have a couple of dishesĭish on Inmarsat. You'll see from the article that Jonti, the writer of JAERO software lives in New Zealand. Receive tracking data from the Inmarsat fleet.įor those interested, the hardest part is setting up the C band dish.but of course for us, who haveīeen using satellite dishes for many s a walk in the park.Īt PlanePlotter we already have a couple of dishes in Australia and New Zealand. Now, we can tie the two together, because since the beginning of the year we have been using PlanePlotter to Having spent the last 25 years monitoring the TV sats over Europe and Inmarsat analogue circuits I have also been involved with PlanePlotter software development. Like many of the members here I come from a TV sat background. It's prompted by an earlier thread which discussed the possibility of receiving aero comms from Inmarsat.
