Thanks for this! I've been doing quite a bit with the ADS-B and want to add
ACARS and see what I get.
So far mainly using the modes_rx stuff, although dump1090 is way more
efficient and has error correction, modes_rx has kml output and I've been
modding the kml. I think on modes_rx I could pull out all the other output
formats and reduce CPU load. Would be nice to add error correction there
but alas I'm off topic.
Cheers,

Hi,
Thank you Thierry and Andreas for your work. I've been experimenting with
rtl-sdr library with different RTL2832U devices -- initially for
receiving/decoding ADS-B data, and now for ACARS data -- and have been very
impressed by the device and the code. For ACARS I was on the same path --
i.e. merging Thierry's code with rtl_fm (AM mode) -- and I'm very happy to
see Andreas has already done it!
Incidentally, my plan for writing an ADS-B decoder was also (fortunately)
shortened when I discovered Dump1090 (Salvatore Sanfilippo) and a nice fork
of it (MalcolmRobb).
To compile rtl_acars.c, I added it to my local rtl_sdr source directory
and made a few mods to the CMakeLists.txt files, etc to build/install it.
The diffs can be found here (includes my mods to CMakeLists.txt to compile
on Mac OS X):

Hi everyone,
I have combined "rtl_fm" with Thierry Leconte's (GPL'ed) acarsdec
library code and created "rtl_acars" which can directly decode ACARS
flight
info messages to the console.
Hey that's great news!
I just bought a rtl card for fun recently and subscribe to this list .
Very happy to see someone use my very old acars decoder code :-)
will try it very soon !
