    If I add 136.750 it wont start:

      sergsero,

      I made an IQ recording of VDL2, it's about four minutes long, I edited out blanks so there is plenty to work with.
      I used SDR# IF recording plugin, if you need it recorded in a different format let me know.

        You are limited to a bandwidth of 1.4 msps, you have signals at 131 and 136 mhz, too wide for the dongle, you will need another dongle!

          Hi hikeofyourlife,

          Thank you for your file. I hope that after some time acarsdeco2 will decode VDL-2 messages.

          At the moment I'm working on a new version, unfortunately, not as quickly as we would like, which will support multiple dongles at the same time.
          As well as the ability to combine network data streams from multiple slave programs into master one.

          Best regards,
          sergsero

                Hi everyone,
                I created simple script to parse network output from acarsdeco2 in SBS format to save all data to MySQL.
                If anyone is interested, the sources are on github under name acarsdeco2-parser (I am not allowed to post links here, lol.)
                Regards
                Martin

                  Hello - this is a great idea! I am using ACARSDeco now with a RTL dongle, but would like to have ability to connect to another decoder, like PlanePlotter, so I can use an analog aircraft receiver audio output. Is there a plan for this?

                      Hello! I live in Belarus and also using excellent decoder AcarsDeco2. In my location flying many aircrafts. Logs becomes big.
                      I wrote small Ruby program crafts.rb for the processing log files of AcarSDeco2.
                      After processing the log files created text file crafts.txt, which are listed line by line recorded unique combinations "aircraft:flight", sorted alphabetically, for example:
                      4R-ALN:PK0786
                      7T-VJB:AH3061
                      7T-VJC:AH3060
                      9HVFB:XA0001

                      A6-EDE:EK0207
                      .............


                      Perhaps this tool is useful to you.

                        Hello,
                        The updated version of acarsdeco2 is in the first post of this forum thread.

                            Steps I did:

                            1. Create a new folder on your Pi with "mkdir acars" or use WinSCP (it's a Windows application) to create a new folder
                            2. Download and move the acarsdeco2_rpi2-3_deb9_20171115.tgz with WinSCP to your Pi
                            3. Go to your acars folder with "cd acars" and decompile the tgz file with "tar -xvzf acarsdeco2_rpi2-3_deb9_20171115.tgz"
                            4. Run a simple test by using "cat acarsdeco2.readme" the readme will show up - read it!
                            5. Start using acarsdeco2 with for example ./acarsdeco2 --freq 131725000

                            Is that right?

                            The Webbrowser is on 8080. I don't think that this should looks so...?
                            2018-02-17 (1).jpg
                            The application still runs only on terminal. How can I change that so that it starts on boot?

                              Noob here, I'd love to try acarsdeco2 but raspbian is completely alien to me.
                              I have a raspi3 with raspbian stretch.
                              I've managed to donwload the compressed tar archive to /home/pi/Desktop.
                              Can someone walk me from here on out?
                              Everywhere I search/Google, people seem to say different things, I try them all, none work...at least for me.

                                How-to Install AcarsDeco2 on Pi2 or Pi3 already running Raspbian Stretch and dump1090 (mutability or fa)

                                NOTE: You will need two DVB-T dongles, one for dump1090, other for AcarsDeco2. They can NOT share one dongle.

                                Configuration A - 1 Pi + 2 dongles
                                One Pi running both dump1090 AND acars - needs two dongles, one for dump1090, 1 for acars.


                                Configuration B - 2 Pi + 2 Dongles
                                Pi #1 + Dongle #1- running acars ONLY.
                                Pi #2 + Dongle #2 - running dump1090 ONLY.

                                In this configuration, no neede to serialize (step-3). Also in steps 5 and 6.2, omit --device index 1


                                IMPORTANT NOTE:

                                STEP-1, ALTERNATIVE-1
                                1.1.1 - Download on Desktop/Laptop, the AcarsDeco2 file from http://xdeco.org/?page_id=30

                                Raspberry Pi 2/3 (Broadcom SoC BCM2836/37 ARMv7 Quad Core) Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.0 (Stretch):
                                acarsdeco2_rpi2-3_deb9_20180603.tgz

                                1.1.2 - Copy the downloaded file acarsdeco2_rpi2-3_deb9_20180603.tgz to RPi's folder /home/pi using WinSCP or FileZilla

                                1.1.3 - In RPi, create a folder acars to hold AcarsDeco2 files, and move the file acarsdeco2_rpi2-3_deb9_20180603.tgz into it

                                Code:
                                cd ~/
                                sudo mkdir acars 
                                sudo mv acarsdeco2_rpi2-3_deb9_20180603.tgz  acars/
                                .

                                STEP-1, ALTERNATIVE-2
                                1.2.1 - In RPi, create a folder acars to hold AcarsDeco2 files

                                Code:
                                cd ~/
                                sudo mkdir  acars
                                .
                                1.2.2 - I have uploaded acarsdeco2_rpi2-3_deb9_20180603.tgz to my DropBox account. Using wget command , you can directly download it from my Drop-Box to RPi and save it in newly created folder acars

                                Code:
                                sudo wget -O  acars/acarsdeco2_rpi2-3_deb9_20180603.tgz  "https://www.dropbox.com/s/q5tjkkrodsyert7/acarsdeco2_rpi2-3_deb9_20180603.tgz?dl=1"
                                .
                                STEP-2
                                2.1 - Move into folder acars

                                Code:
                                cd acars
                                2.2 - Extract downloaded .tgz file

                                Code:
                                sudo tar xzvf acarsdeco2_rpi2-3_deb9_20180603.tgz
                                Above command will generate following output

                                3.1 - Serialize two DVB-T / Prostick dongles
                                Dongle 1 (for dump1090-mutability): Serial # 00000000
                                Dongle 2 (for AcarsDeco2): Serial # 00000001

                                3.3 - Reboot Pi

                                Code:

                                Check what AcarsDeco2 has detected as DVB-T / Prostick dongles available and their serial numbers

                                Code:
                                cd acars
                                ./acarsdeco2 --device-list
