Hello everyone,
I am from Belgium and very interested in aviation.
I am also interested in having my own radar but have a few questions about it:
- Is it legal to use Mode-S receivers in Belgium?
- Is it possible to track all kinds of military aircraft with it?
I mostly spot military aircraft and so it would be nice to see what's flying around(like F16's and C130's).
I use Flightradar24 to spot civil aircrafts but it doesn't show any military.
Looking forward to a reply!
Regards,
TTECH
Hi TTECH
Welcome to the forum, It's the best around.......!
Re: your question I would suggest that you take a look on our Plane Plotter section, I'm sure you will get a lot of help
from the members who use planeplotter, as they are able to receive military aircraft.
Good luck
Tom
Thank you!
I'll ask it there. ;)

Welcome to the site TTECH,
Answer 1,
No, Mode S or ADSB wont track any Mil flights or for that matter lots of turbo props DHC8`s or ERJ`s - as far as I know only plane plotter can use MLAT to track Military most of the time.
No doubt one of the regulars will be able to explain more or for a good start try the PP section..
Hope that helps a little,
Smudger.
Thank you for the answer!
I have posted my questions in the PP-section ;)
