Hi Sergsero,

Have you tried PlanePlotter?

Edit--
If you are looking for Mode A/C Sqwks then you don't need another program, ModeSDeco2 and Mixer2's web pages display that info. See the attachment.

If you want that info in AdsbScope I'll have to find a copy and fire it up to see what it can do.

Thanks DS,
I have seen the output on ModeSdeco2 but I am interested in a display similar to ADSBscope or similar that will display S and A/C at the same time.
I have read on the PP site that they use something called 'beamfinder' for mode A/C and was interested to know if it is an inhouse add-on or another app that is available.

I am also interested to know if anyone has displayed 868Mhz at the same time.

Mike, you can display sq's on PlanePlotter (I've attached 3 shots, 1st is the list view, second is the chart view and third is the options of what you can display in chart view.) Beamfinder is a method of using Mode A/C and Mode S to determine radar site locations and is kind of hit and miss depending where you are at. Here in So Cal it doesn't really work since there are multiple radar sites that use the same ID, and this is a major area for testing Mode S to take over many of the applications for ground based radar. So you can go with PP out of the box and if you qualify for ground station status and can share you might be able to get a free license for it.

I still haven't looked at asdbScope to see it's layouts but I can if you are really interested in that particular product.

Hello Ds
Thanks for the offer. I am only using adsbScope as it was suggested by a friend of mine. I will have a look at the other software around to see what that has to offer.

Hi.
I have problem with MODESDECO, all versions. When I try to start program i got this message always:

Windows XP SP3, LIBUSB drivers (from ZADIG). RTL1090 works ok.

Sorry for my not perfect English.

ModeSMixer2 v.20150616 test version

+ fixed bug in CPR decoder's filter
+ used the release version v=3.20 of Google Maps API

20150612
+ added option --web-auth <arg> Enable web auth username:password (default: off)
+ added option --filter-ic Enable Interrogator Code filter (default: off)
+ added option --metric Enable metric system of distance measurement
+ added ability to select rows for aircraft's label on the map
+ added ability to display METAR data (with decoding them by pushing on the string) for one airport
+ table on Google map is draggable. Move it by clicking on it with the mouse and dragging it anywhere within the viewport
+ added option --location <arg> for one point with lat:lon
+ added option --filter-ic Enable Interrogator Code filter (default: off)
+ added option --disable-web-log suppresses console messages on WEB page Log (default: on)

If you see on the page Map that all aircraft are being plotted in the top-left corner and the Google map does not load, then you need to do bypass your cache in browser.

Bypassing your cache means forcing your web browser to re-download a web page from scratch, which can often solve website display glitches. It is also required after installing user scripts. Bypassing your cache is simple, safe, and causes no permanent changes.

When you are on the page "Map":
In most Windows and Linux browsers: Hold down Ctrl and press F5.
In Apple Safari: Hold down ⇧ Shift and click the Reload toolbar button.

Or use menu: Control+Shift+Del

Hi Sergsero,

It is possible to ModeSDeco2 to show mode A/C squawks in AdsbScope ?

In ADSBScope, choose Config > Aircraft track > Label > 4 lines and squawks will display on the fourth line.

Thank you for the feedback.

However, in the program code were made multiple changes to reduce the size of it and to ensure cross platform. Therefore, the program needs testing for errors.    
I will be grateful for your help in this testing.

Need some help.

I don't find the right way to set the path to the silhouttes on my pi2.

BaseStation.sqb is found and working, ie. REG info is shown in webbrowser.
But I would also like to see the silouettes.

Now I use the command:
./modesdeco 2 --gain 48.0 --rbs --location 49.572:7.601 --web 8000 --metric --db BaseStaion.sqb --silhouettes /modesdeco/Outlines

Folder Silouettes with silouettes files is in folder modesdeco.

[Anmer]

Have you added a ICAO type code (that matches a silhouette image file name) for each aircraft record in your BaseStation.sqb file?

[Rockwell]

Hi Anmer,

Files are named for example: A320.bmp.
On my PC this is working when I use modesdeco2.
I think it has something to do with the path of these files on my PI2.
I don't know how to set the correct path in the command line options.

[nurmiin]

Now I use the command:
./modesdeco 2 --gain 48.0 --rbs --location 49.572:7.601 --web 8000 --metric --db BaseStaion.sqb --silhouettes /modesdeco/Outlines

Hi,

Are you really using a sqb named like that?

[Rockwell]

No, of course not is just a typing error. "t" is missing.
