In view of that, when you create the 'sectorfreqs.txt' you should try to divide up the airspace into non-overlapping boxes to get the best chance of hitting the relevant frequency.
There is, of course, a tacit assumption that you know your local ATC frequencies and the areas and altitudes to which they refer.Īs there is only one tuner in SDR#+dongle, as opposed to the four in the SBS-3, it is only possible to allocate one frequency to each sector. The format of the file is described in detail in the Help file but to make it easy, you can create or add to the file using ' sector frequencies (near the bottom of the pull-down).Add a new ATC sector frequency'. This feature uses the same definition file format that was used by PlanePlotter to tune the SDR in the SBS-3. With that add-on installed, PP will use a user-supplied file called 'sectorfreqs.txt' that defines the frequencies associated with each geographic area and altitude sector.

To use the feature, you first need to install an add-on for SDR# called Net Remote, which is obtainable here: This is obviously a much more affordable solution than the SBS-3, although not quite as useful, as I will explain. You will need a dongle and SDR# to be used as the VHF air band receiver which this feature will control. This release does something similar for the SDR#. PlanePlotter has, for a long time, supported tuning the SBS-3 SDR to appropriate VHF ATC frequencies based on the location and altitude of the designated aircraft. This release adds a preliminary version of a remote frequency control option for SDR# to allow automatic tuning of ATC channels based on the location and altitude of the aircraft that you designate by double clicking on its symbol. Please don't write to me about it write to your security system provider and ask them to make their program smarter. Be aware that an increasing number of security systems treat any new file as a threat without any justification except that it is new. If you have a version-specific firewall (eg Zone Alarm), you may have to reassure it that the new version is permitted to access the Internet. Nic's installer will warn you if PlanePlotter is still running when you try to install the new version. If you post a message complaining that the web site is still pointing to an earlier version, you pay a forfeit! You can install the new version over the old one but you *must* close/exit PlanePlotter before installing the new one. You may need to exercise your browser Refresh function to force it to show you the new version of the PlanePlotter web page.
