Description

Aircraft ACARS radio messages can be decoded from multiple SDR backends including RTL-SDR, SoapySDR, Airspy, and SDRplay. It is useful for monitoring setups that need flexibility across receiver hardware.

Radio monitoring rules vary by location and can involve sensitive operational data. Use receive-only hardware legally and review what data is stored or shared.
