Receiving

Become an ADS-B feeder

Run a receiver, extend the network, and get the full radar for free.

The challenges

  • Your antenna matters

    Coverage is thinnest around small airfields, in the hills and along the coast. One receiver there changes what everyone sees.

  • Already feeding elsewhere?

    The Dataero feeder runs alongside other networks on the same receiver.
