Other ADS-B In Sources

Being the nerd that I am, I was wondering about an ADS-B developement kit as there seems to be a lot of these little ADS-B IN receivers floating around (usually an indication there is a development board from an IC manufacturer being produced commercially).

Has anyone looked into this? Can the IFly folks point me to the ADS-B data streem source documentation that they comply with?

For those interested, this looked like fun-

Is there an consensus amoungst IFly owners as to the best (wireless) ADS-B In receiver is for the 720?

This one looks interesting and uses the Garmin and NEMA formats. Does IFly 720 support either format?

Re: Other ADS-B In Sources

Be very careful before you venture into uncharted territory Bill. For one thing, I believe there may be some differences in the way USA and Europe do ADS-B. The vender you are looking at serves the European market.

That TRX-1000 seems to be a 1090 receiver. In the USA, I believe you need a 978 receiver if you want to receive both TIS rebroadcast (traffic) and FIS (weather) data.

From a web page I found:
"Now, if you want to benefit from the free stuff, weather, traffic and the ability to directly “see” other ADS-B Out aircraft directly – you need ADS-B In capability; that can be either a 978UAT or 978 MHz ADS-B stand-alone receiver."
