Well, at least you can see them here, even if you can't hear them. (I can though! ;))

Nice and semi rural here, quiet......
Until the bloody planes go over from East mids airport.
Nowhere near as bad I would imagine as Heathrow.

Had a demo of one of these a few weeks back. http://www.hamradio.co.uk/acatalog/Av_RD_Kinetic_Avionics.html

Very impressive bit of kit, although I wouldn't pay £500 to watch (and listen to) planes fly around a map myself.

If only the RAF would leave it out with their Chinooks it would be very pleasant where I live. ;)

I was talking about the webcam, rather than the products. Maybe someone on here will take a look and figure it out!  :)

Apparently the radar box works anywhere and gives you live air traffic control data. You just plug it into a USB slot and load the software...I think.

You could try looking at the forum as it has a FAQ section:

The radar boxes receive a signal from the SSR (secondary surveillance radar) transponder fitted to all large aircraft. Essentially, these are the "pings" that the aircraft send in response to being interrogated by a radar system, and what air traffic control use to keep track of the aircraft.

They contain a unique identification for that aircraft, the position and speed and all sorts of other information. More information can then be gleaned by using the aircraft's unique ID to look up what the aircraft is currently doing - flight number, airline, departure and arrival airport, etc.

You connect this box to your PC and you can see all air traffic using SSR in your area plotted on a map. 8-)
