I used the following 2 SDRs in the making of this video : RTL-SDR v3 - https://amzn.to/2NIGGGZ NooElec NESDR SMArt - https://amzn.to/2YKlh6p To see a review of these 2 budget SDRs you can watch my Budget SDR Shootout at https://youtu.be/FDwTGk6c2Qg Of course you can use any SDR that covers the VHF airband to decode ACARS transmissions. The scanner I use most for airband is the Uniden Bearcat BCT15X which you can find at https://amzn.to/2RcalNE Software used : acarsdec - https://github.com/TLeconte/acarsdec Black Cat ACARS - http://blackcatsystems.com/software/black_cat_acars_decoder.html AcarSdeco2 - http://xdeco.org/ If you are new to the world of SDR, check out the 2020/2021 SDR Guide videos which will help you discover what your Software Defined Radio is capable of!
