Ads-B Receiver Plane Tracking

[ThaiBrat]

Recently a ADS_B has been added to flightradar24.com somewhere near the airport.

T-VTBS2 enables live flight tracking up to and around 200 km from BKK- Some planes track farther

but can be hit and miss due the mountains etc.

Planes seem to appear on this radar in great distances towards the north / north west and

to help I will be installing a ADS_B in Korat Nakhon Ratchasima

This will help by joining the BKK radar and start to cover and area through Khon Kean

and the North East.

Is anyone interested up North in adding to the system _ Tak and Chang Mai - Nong Khai would great.

Further east Roiet and Sis A Ket would then help to cover the whole of Thailand.

Anyway, just thought some of you might to watch flight arriving/leaving so you can judge times etc

or if you have to meet someone, or to watch a flight leave to your country so you know its on the way to pick you up.

I like watching flightradar24 and would be interested as there isn't any data available for HKT at the moment.

However.... what are the practicalities of it and most importantly is it legal?

On a related topic.... are airband radios/scanners available here and are they legal?

I have been asked by a few Pms. what and how to link to the ADS_b net work.

See attached photo of equipment, It's, a USB scanner to plug into your PC.

ADS-B Receivers can be bought easy on Amazon / Ebay for just do a search for

ADS-B Receiver

then look at http://www.flightrad...se_coverage.php

Easy to set up just download Planeplotter free software.

Does anyone know of an ADS-B USB stick that works with Apple OSX?

Really interesting looking at flightradar24 this Sunday morning and seeing all the circling of the inbound flights waiting for landing slots due to the runway maintenance.

Looks like the BKK ADS-B station is no longer online.

Live and better. We are now tracking far north into Loas.
