Title: PCHFDL with AirNav RadarBox
Post by: ChrisGR on October 03, 2007, 05:28:53 PM: One question. Do you have in mind if some future version of AirNav RadarBox can be connected with PCHFDL?

Thank you
Chris

Crikey piper-pilot, can't believe you don't know what HFDL is ..............

I didn't know either, I've just done a Google search and found this :-)

Glad to hear there is going to be a new version of AN ACARS decoder!!!

There may be some on satcom but there are an amazing amount of aircraft
using HFDL. An 8 hour run on the Molokai station with PC-HFDL & PosFix shows
the western and north Pacific covered with flights. Same with PlainPlotter & PC-HFDL.
