I guess i'm right in thinking the answer would be NO for this but, does
anyone know if there is any software to decode the pulse tone sent out on
1090MHz by most aircraft. I know there is a company who sell a unit for
£500, which decodes onto a radar screen, this is what made me think that
there might be a bit more involved than just getting a hold of 'Free
Software' !.

Anyway, just like we can now decode pager messages, ACARS etc, i thought
maybe somewhere this software existed. I don't mean free software which will
place the aircraft on a radar screen, but just simple software which would
at least decode what flight number the aircraft was at least ?. I can pick
the signals up no bother, would be interesting to decode them !!
