Decoding ACARS on VHF with your SDR Radio - Monitoring Aviation Communications Ep 5

This video shows most of the kinds of messages you will receive if you set up an SDR radio to decode ACARS transmissions in the VHF air band. I used the following 2 SDRs in the making of this video : RTL-SDR v3 - NooElec NESDR SMArt - To see a review of these 2 budget SDRs you can watch my Budget SDR Shootout at Of course you can use any SDR that covers the VHF airband to decode ACARS transmissions. The scanner I use most for airband is the Uniden Bearcat BCT15X which you can find at Software used : acarsdec - Black Cat ACARS - AcarSdeco2 - If you are new to the world of SDR, check out the 2020/2021 SDR Guide videos which will help you discover what your Software Defined Radio is capable of! As always, thanks for watching the Frugal Radio (FR) channel :-)
