As some of you may be aware, Flightradar24.com has developed its own Mode-S receiver. You can read more details here.
The receiver has been developed by the makers of the Mode-S Beast. It's compact (measuring just 100x60x30mm) and connects directly to your router/modem by Ethernet cable. It doesn't need a PC to run and is supplied with a power supply, external Mode-S antenna, all cables including a GPS antenna for data timing precision.
Industry standard, decoded data is available on port 30003 for use with PlanePlotter, adsbScope, Virtual Radar Server and other aircraft tracking software.
The GPS provides precision timestamps and location position for accurate plotting of non-ADS-B aircraft, often referred to as Multilateration or Mlat.
Flightradar24 is currently running Mlat trials in Scandinavia and wants to extend this to the UK and is looking for a dozen volunteers to create an initial Mlat network for testing purposes. Volunteers will be sent a receiver free-of-charge. They will also be able to use Flightradar's Premium including RadarView.
You should be willing to mount the supllied external antenna or use your existing setup. You also need to be connected to the Internet 24x7.
If you're interested, please complete the online application form:

In ythe Country field please enter "UK (Mlat Trial)".
Flightradar24 will send you further information direct.
