Database-manager for easy
data update
This software allows displaying text messages
and flight data
including its position, registration, weather conditions, flight level, images and
much more on your PC
screen by receiving ACARS signals using up
to 2 wide-band receivers for full-time dual-channel
receive.
No decoder
device is needed as the signals are processed in the sound-device of
your PC, and a connection requires only a commonly available audio cable
between PC¡Çs audio input and a receiver¡Çs earphone plug. Easy-to-use DBM (database
manager) tool enables the update of flights,
equipment info, name of airports and more.
Already
have air-band receiver(s) capable of receiving
130MHz range in AM ? Being interested
in aviation and spotting ? Then just tune
to one of your local ACARS frequencies.
If it receives data-signals, all you need
is a PC, simple monoral 3.5mm audio-cable
and 10 minutes of time to start enjoying the
wonderful world of ACARS decoding !

KG-ACARS'
personalization and user-updates, ideal for spotters' database keeping
purposes:
Unlike
server-based ACARS decoders that indicates
data on a list right away, you must "WORK"
to make KG-ACARS works for you. With
KG-ACARS you can create
your own enroute-chart on the PC screen,
show best-shot images of the ships
you photographed, alert when airplanes of your
preference are flying
over your area, show names of airlines as
you like may be using aviation-radio callsign...yes,
it may take some time to gather and input
those necessary information
to your data files, but perhaps such process
may be the most fun part and that's
why Japanese aviation fans found KG-ACARS
the most interesting software
of its kind!
