The FCC isnвЂ™t in the business of chasing down children with broken toys. In all actuality, no one would really care. No, in none of the hypothetical cases you mentioned, would you be at fault, or prosecuted. Lets say you are using a cheap toy walkie talkie that uses a slide switch similar to those used by older tape recorders (witch are known to get noisy) and the switch in the walkie talkie acts like the pencil and razor blade in the foxhole radio due to itвЂ™s noisy contacts and your walkie talkie act like an illegal receiverДЄre you in violation due to a malfunctioning walkie talkie? If you can exploit that and listen to the phone call via the toyвЂ™s motors and circuitry acting as a receiver then you should NOT be in violation since it is an undesired operation. The way i see it the fcc set up a catch 22. Now the car is acting in an undesired mode. If you are using a cheap rc car and the motors suddenly act as speakers sue to it being able to receive a phone call. Must accept interference that causes undesired operation remember the other fcc rule on many electronics? It isnt like the receiver could transmit on them or leak onto them.Дў. how would the government even know if you are monitoring those frequencies?

Wikipedia has more details on ADS-BВ and the sight has an excellent posting on вЂњ RTL-SDR Tutorial: Cheap ADS-B Aircraft RADARвЂќ which includes how to build your own antenna for the 1090 MHz frequency Join us after the break for some extra informational links andВ to watch the video on setup, installation and usage of this cheap airplane tracking rig. That merger might just get them both on a short TSA list.

We wonder if could partner with to upgrade motorized telescope airplane tracking system to extrapolate the radio telemeter data into vector data so his Arduino can track without relying on a video feed. Also note that just because you have a legal right to intercept conversations or data on some frequencies it could be illegal to publicly share the intercepted content or any details on the reception or decoding (just saying for the record).

So remember you do have to be careful and stay within legal frequencies even if your equipment is not restricted from such reception. There are some frequencies you are not legally allowed to eavesdrop on-private communications for residential wireless telephones and cellular frequencies to name just a few ( Code of Federal Regulations Title 47, Part 15.9). You wonвЂ™t need a license for this hack because youвЂ™re only listening and not transmitting, plus these are open channels which are legal to receive. This looks like a fascinating and fun project if you live near commercial airways.

He steps us through configuring the radio to use a better antenna for improved reception then walks through detailed software installation and set up to control the radio receiver as well as pushing the final decoded data to mapping software.

demonstrates using a cheap USB dongle European TV tuner style SDR (software defined radio) tuner that you can get for under $30 to listen in on the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcas (ADS-B)В (dead link, try the Internet Archive version) 1090 MHz mode вЂњSвЂќ or 978 MHz mode вЂњUATвЂќ signals being regularly transmitted from these aircraft.

Do you have commercial or general aviation flying over your home or near your home? Would you like to know more about these airplanes: identity, heading, speed, altitude and maybe GPS data along with even more information? Well then has just the project for you and itвЂ™s not that expensive to set up.
