In this example, we propose to demodulate "ADS-B":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_dependent_surveillance_%E2%80%93_broadcast transponders thanks to a module available at https://github.com/bistromath/gr-air-modes. Its installation can be performed thanks to PyBombs which should be already installed if you followed our [[UHD and GNURadio installation|installation guide]]. In your PyBombs directory, issue the following instruction:
4 1 ROQUE, Damien
<pre>
5 1 ROQUE, Damien
sudo ./pybombs install gr-air-modes
6 1 ROQUE, Damien
sudo ldconfig
7 1 ROQUE, Damien
</pre>
8 1 ROQUE, Damien
9 1 ROQUE, Damien
You can start decoding live signals from airplanes with the following instruction:
10 1 ROQUE, Damien
<pre>
11 1 ROQUE, Damien
modes_rx -A RX2 -K aircrafts.kml
12 1 ROQUE, Damien
</pre>
13 1 ROQUE, Damien
14 1 ROQUE, Damien
The output file @aircraft.kml@ can be interpreted by Google Earth (@Add > Network File@).
