			 Recently I saw a Garmin G1000's (very cool) Mode S radar display, superimposed over the moving map display. They call it: "Mode-S transponders with Traffic Information Service (TIS)" We were in a class "B" area, and seeing all the traffic in the area superimposed over the sectional map was really fantastic. My question is, is there a way to do something like this with a laptop, computer that will receive this signal in a portable unit that could be moved from plane to plane? The Garmin is a wonderfull piece of equipment, but way outside my price range. Here's a page that shows some info about the "Mode S" technology. http://mit.edu/6.933/www/Fall2000/mo...echnology.html  |
