So it's basically the same hardware as a FR24 ... but a little different in the software.
Wow 708.05 € ... had no idea this stuff cost that much.

same with FR24 thread post:
A video by Nic Storey demonstrating how to update the radarcape, as well as showing some features of the radarcape i.e. displaying aircraft list, 2D map and 3D map by google. All with just the radarcape and a web browser. No other software needed.

for the software side of things looking at the wiki for the radarcape it goes through how to update make your or boot able sdcard, i would also assume that the command used to update the radarcape would get you the software too.

There will still be some people that will buy the Merc - but the cheap competition has changed the market.

Originally posted by peterhr View PostMaybe not, but when the mode-s beast launched there were just two motorised vehicles, you had a choice of the Mercedes (Modes S Beast) or the BMW (Airnav box).
And the newly launched Kinetic Puck is now available, with software, for under GBP £250.

The Beast and Radarcape do not ship with proprietary software.

that said there was the micro ADSB [usb stick] receiver but that was still is a big step up in price.

I just noticed in this post the following;
"beagle bone acts as a software suppository for the radarcape firmware."
I think you mean repository mate, a suppository is something entirely different. I have those moments at times when the right word just wont show itself. Keep up the great work.
