However for now you can only test sbs1hex if you want to use the beta version as I do not build Windows binaries reguraily. As mentioned in the post please contact me by email.

Are your planning on compile a version for windows as well?

Contact me on email if you want to try it out. Actually it uses Google Maps so you don’t need to create your own map :-) All you need is a file with VOR/NDB/FIX positions.

That's the problem with my java program, is that it spends a lot of time drawing the map. Then again, everyone has to find or make their own map. Your web based graphics look pretty good!

Basestation does it, so this should be possible. I will surely have a look on your software, for now I am using my own web based solution. It's working pretty well and it supports multiple data feeds but it's still in early development. http://piopawlu.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/radar.png I tried that at the very beginning, it helps a lot but some planes are still doubled.. they share squawk and callsign.. but their 24bit address is different :/ I will have to find a solution for that one way or another..

If you need a display program for your data, I'm working on one that works with the SBS socket data. It's pretty stable now, so I plan on finishing the needed parts, like configuration saving, lat/lon home location changing, and tabular displays. I tested it on Ubuntu Linux, but it had trouble with the mouse wheel. Linux is notorious for having mouse wheel problems. I just switched to fedora so will have to test how good the mouse wheel driver is on that. The mouse wheel is used to zoom-in and zoom-out of the display. I may have to add a page-up and page-down to associate with the zooming. The source code and downloads are on google: http://code.google.com/p/sbsviewer/ A bit off topic, and I updated my email address, as I keep leaving the ‘n’ off, ha.

I think in a non-Mode-S area, the garbles would be a lot less anyway.

I think they are just garbled bits. One way to filter them is to put the received DF11 addresses into a queue, and then compare the other DF received addresses to this queue. If it's not in the queue then it must be garbled, so ignore the packet. The chances of two garbles coming out the same being a low probability. The queue would have an insert time also, and you could expire queue entries after a minute, or update the time on addresses already in the queue. Basically a scan to scan filter, or sliding filter of good addresses. Just an idea. I noticed these bad packets with the vodka tool also. I think they are just garbled bits.
