[Xastir] New script: ads-b.pl for snagging airplane positions

[Fred Hillhouse Jr]

Whether sending to APRS.FI or not is a decision Hessu will need to make. Hessu does accept AIS data so maybe he would accept ADS-B as well.

In the past, people (Pete?) working with APRS-IS has requested no AIS data to be uploaded to the APRS servers.

Both AIS and ADS-B has the potential to provide too much data and is likely not welcome.

Best regards,
Fred N7FMH

Hi,

I will try this script, I thing it's good project, but Is it a good
feature to send to aprs.fi all ads-b traffic ?   I think it will
probably better to have the oppportunity to transmit only specific
traffic based on one tail-number(s) / flight number(s) ?
