In addition to providing streaming voice, i’ll be adding ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast ) data shortly. This will provide real-time data of aircraft within 200nm  of Tallahassee (KTLH). You will be able to see the aircraft on a map and it will include data such as:

• Lat/Long
  
• Flight Number, Aircraft Type (737 etc.), Squawk and Aircraft Registation
  
• Origin & Destination
  
• Time in Flight and ETA to Destination
  
• Altitude, Speed, Track (in degrees) and assent/descent rate (Vertical Speed)
  

Most services on the web (such as FlightAware.Com) show FAA filtered data, delayed by 5 minutes or more. The data feed provided by KTLH.NET and others post real-time data provided by receivers that capture the data in real time that is transmitted by the aircraft (and also captured by the FAA ground stations) and routed to services that provide real-time map display such as www.fightradar24.com (FR24).

I’m currently feeding FR24 data as T-KTLH3 (there is a 1 & 2 already) from a test location. In the works is the location of the receiver downtown at a height of 250ft which should provide reception of 300nm and greater. Currently I’m receiving about 200nm to the north.
