Re: [Xastir] ADS-B (planes)

[Dexter N Muir]

Y'know I'm left wondering: Why 'planes? I mean, xastir - and APRS - is 
great for activity reporting and hazard alerts - fire, flood, quake etc 
- even its under-utilised messaging, particularly in SAR activity - but 
why aircraft? I'd think anyone wanting to watch them would have hardware 
to get info off-air or know of specific ADS-B feeds, and have software 
already available to display same. Anything capable of running xastir 
should be able to do ADS-B stuff alongside or instead at need - why 
clutter or feature-creep Amateur/SAR with that? Just because you can?
