Ironically, its has been the best 25 Euros I’ve ever spent and my system has been running 24/7 ever since, battling on even when my laptop went tits up this week! From my perspective if my “latest hobby” was short lived I didn’t want to splash out on another fancy desktop icon that saw little use. No, PlanePlotter is the real deal network system, but it is a shareware program (i.e. And yes I know FR24 has something similar, but its Mlat system is not readily available and gets switched off on a whim.

PlanePlotter is the first and only multilateration software available to enthusiasts which can locate Mode-S aircraft that are not transmitting ADS-B position reports – it is accurate too, in most instances, enough to pop outside and watch the Mlat aircaft fly overhead. I needed aircraft filtering, alerts, different charts, I needed to see military aircraft… lets face it, I needed PlanePlotter!

Having played around with ADSBScope a freeware aircraft tracking program, it was obvious to me that I needed something a bit more adaptable, more feature rich. The most commonly heard phrase on forums regarding this device is “if it doesn’t work its only a tenner” (or words to that effect), but, it does work, and it has opened up areas of the radio spectrum that was the preserve of dedicated kit costing hundreds if not thousands 10 or more years ago. Imagine for a second though what the hobby would have been given the equipment available today.īut I digress, the RTL USB dongle has really kick started my hobby – initially just as a novelty item – a dirt cheap SDR. I wasn’t short on spotting opportunities what with four local USAF bases just an hour or so away and an active RAF airfield (Coltishall) on my doorstep. That said, back then, this was probably enough. Those were the days!

You see, PlanePlotter (PP for short) has opened my eyes to what could have been – much in the same way that I wish I could be magically transported back to the 1980’s when the skies above were full of F-111’s, A-10’s, and the occasional SR-71 inbound Mildenhall. Pricey items too, so I stayed clear, but over the past couple of months I have deeply regretted not investigating it further. I vaguely remember somewhere in between a company producing a “radar box”, but these were civvy orientated and my love was military, pure and simple. I was pretty much sorted – not much got past me at my local airfield.

The 90’s saw the addition of my first scanner plus a spotting scope for good measure.

As time went on I added a 35mm SLR (remember those?) and a collection of high powered lenses.

Back in the 1980’s the only tools I had were a pair of binoculars, a copy of Ian Allan’s abc Military Aircraft Markings, a note book and pencil. PlanePlotter Version Reviewed: 6.4.1.0-6.4.1.2 (GS/MU rN)Īs an aviation enthusiast of many a decade I can tell you that this sort of hobby evolves over the years. Note also the KC-135R (QID81) and MC-130J (LEGIT41) Here a USAF E-3C (SHUCK80H) is being successfully Mlated (manually by me – the blue lines are hyper curves used during the process).
