Hi,

I have gnuradio version v3.7.7.1 installed using pybombs. Installation  
was  
successful. I also installed “gr-air-modes” from the app store. Although  
the  
recipe installed with no problem, I cannot find how to use gr-air-modes.  
No  
GRC flow graph component found and all documentation, so far, is  
changed.

Questions:

1. How do I use the ADSB receiver?
2. Is there a ADSB component for the GRC flow graph?
3. Is there a GRC flow graph model?
4. Is there up to date documentation for using gr-air modes?

Thank you

Hi,

You enter on the command line ais\_rx - then the program starts.

Thank you Ralph,

Your reply is one step closer; except that it’s for boats. I think  
“modes\_rx”, is the app for aircraft. I would like to send the data to  
Google  
earth without having to write to a file, unless the file can be opened  
by  
Google Earth and the terminal application at the same time. The file  
would  
behave as a FIFO and would have to be opened in a shared mode. It’s  
trivial  
to do with in windows or even in DOS; but have no clue for Linux or  
Python.
