About this app

*** Disclaimer ***
In some parts of the world it is illegal to listen to air traffic conversations. Please check the relevant laws in your region/country. We do not endorse illegal use of this application.

This application is about having a bit of fun with those amazing little RTL-SDR dongles, whilst listening to air traffic conversations in your local area. It's nice and easy to use so why not give it a try?

There are two ways to use the application. The first is to use an RTL-SDR dongle and an SDR driver, available from Google Play. Selecting the Driver option in the application menu will open the driver page on Google Play. The second way is to connect to an instance of rtl_tcp running on a remote computer, most likely over WiFi. You will need a good network connection for this to work reliably so use of the driver is probably the preferred way to use the application in most cases.

We hope you enjoy using this application.

Doesn't really work. With Nooelec NESDR Smartee XTR and tuned external antenna I was getting much, much worse reception on Airband than with an indoor HT with classic dualband (2m/70cm) rubber ducky. Edit: Thanks for responding, that matters. PPM of the dongle is 0.5 and that could actually be this, I remember I had to adjust it with SDR Sharp. Will try again in some time soon. Thanks again.

Sorry to hear that. Have you checked the ppm of your dongle? UPDATE: New version V1.28 allows frequency correction ppm to be entered. It only allows integer values to be entered, so not sure how that corresponds to the 0.5 you mentioned above. Feel free to email support if you are still having issues. See Help for email address.

Very cool apps, this and the FM radio one. I hope you continue the trend of SDR apps and make some scanners for other frequencies. Also a paid no ad version would be amazing! Tha is for your hard work!

Thanks for your kind words! Great to know our efforts are appreciated. We're currently working on other SDR applications. Also planning to add in-app purchases to remove adverts. Thanks again 😀 Update: adverts can now be removed by an in-app purchase.

Please can you consider building the app app for marine band 156.000Mhz - 162.0000mhz and 457/467mhz VHF/UHF ..It would be amazing to see this. I don't think it would be that difficult . Just change the frequency capabilities and tabs inside the app .it would be popular. Thanks

Thanks for the review. If those bands are FM then you should find that our HAM FM Radio app will do what you have asked for. For AM we would need a new app. Thanks again. P.S. feel free to email support@knowleconsultants.com with any more details of what you need.
