Cloned https://github.com/antirez/dump1090, ran make, ran `./dump1090 --interactive --net` and BOOM, ADS-B on my Mac with a whip antenna on RTL-SDR v4 (v3 might be better, better antenna would definitely be better).

Radio is magical. Need to figure out what flight platform to send to.

@geerlingguy you might also need a second SDR for UAT traffic monitoring 😉. And SDR-Enthusiasts solution is the golden standard.
