ASD-B - API #2656

Hi - is there any chance in the future that the ICAO and/or Reg could be included in the API feed?. This is great software and I'm feeding into Excel so I can plot flightpaths, number of flights over a period by aircraft registration etc etc. A lot of aircraft don't transmit callsign making data analysis rather limited. Other 'RTL' software doesn't perform and return as many hits as SDRA does. Thanks.

Which feed format are you using?

https://wiki.jetvision.de/wiki/Mode-S_Beast:Data_Output_Formats is a third party format so we can't modify it.

The 24-bit ICAO should be in there already, as it's in every ADS-B frame. Callsigns are only transmitted occasionally - you'd just need to look for the appropriate frame.

Aircraft reg comes from a database, not ADS-B.

I'm pretty green behind the ears - just taking up the hobby. I'm using Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://127.0.0.1:8091/sdrangel/deviceset/0/channel/0/report")), to access the data. (i'm using a different port from the default).

Ahh, sorry, thought you was referring to the Beast feed.

For the channel report, yes, should be able to add some extra fields.

That would be fantastic. The more info the better!. The attached shows tracking of a callsign over the past week, doesn't mean it's the same aircraft. The bars are altitude. I've got heaps of blank callsigns that I know are military but can't plot.
