How to use RTL-SDR Dongle to Monitor Airways

I will be using the RTL-SDR dongle found at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CD7558GT in this article.

Once you have the dongle you will need to install the drivers for the device. This is IMPORTANT for all Windows users. For me, the dongle worked out of the box for Mac.

Step 1

Head over to https://www.rtl-sdr.com/V4/ and have a quick read. For Windows users, the drivers for the V4 can be found at https://github.com/rtlsdrblog/rtl-sdr-blog/releases. Once the driver is installed for the device you should be able to download any SDR program and use it with the dongle.

Step 2

Download an SDR program. I personally enjoy SDR++ (SDRpp) but it is up to you which one you use. A link to download SDR++ is below.
