These things are only about €15; they are supposedly for you to watchi telly on your laptop but I reckon hardly anyone buys them for this purposes as there is loads of open source softwate that makes then act as a fully fledged software radio (or the sort that until recently only govt boffins had access to).
with a few freewre appps nd a good antenna (don’t use the cheap magmount supplied with the kit; I got a MCC to TV adaptor and used my Band II (FM) antenna; was surprised at how many decent ACARS messagss I got. The software than calls up the plane is Germany; wheres the radar display is Japanese. I ddi have a British one but it wasm acting up.
