Tracking Down an ATIS Tower with KrakenSDR
13 August 2024 at 06:00
Over on YouTube The Comms Channel has uploaded a video showing how they used a KrakenSDR to track down the location of an ATIS transmission tower.
If you weren't already aware, KrakenSDR is our 5-channel coherent radio based on RTL-SDRs, and it can be used for applications like radio direction finding. It can beΒ purchased on Crowd Supply.
Airports typically have an ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) transmission tower that broadcasts audio of recorded information such as weather, runway conditions, and any important notices.
In the video, they use the KrakenSDR to track down the location of an ATIS transmission tower at their local airport. In the future, they intend on using the KrakenSDR to help track down Meshtastic radios.
