RadarBox is unique in many ways, and provides a virtual radar display on your PC. It is the world’s leading portable virtual radar system, now in use by professionals and
hobbyists around the world. It uses the 1.09GHz ADS-B data network to provide a virtual aircraft radar display on a home or portable PC. RadarBox uses advanced radio technology and a highly sensitive radio receiver to give you an interference free picture of the amazing world of commercial air travel anywhere in the world. RadarBox provides live radar data tags of aircraft positions and movements centred on your location. You choose your location and centre it on a very detailed map. Then, with the aid of a zoom button, you can decide what radius of airspace you want to monitor. You can also be selective and concentrate on certain airlines or aircraft types, or make the selection criteria based on destinations or origins. All this is made possible by RadarBox’s extremely comprehensive programmable filter system. In a similar manner you can change the display map details from a very simple layout with just a few points of detail, to a comprehensive layout with all
airfields, airports and navigational aids shown. As if that is not enough, you can choose from a library of NASA map overlays that give even more geographical information. And the aircraft you are monitoring have not been ignored either.
You get a built-in picture library database that automatically displays a real photograph of the aircraft type when you click on any aircraft’s data tag.
Simple BUT Professional
RadarBox was designed by professional pilots who understood what was needed to provide a comprehensive virtual radar system that adopted industry standard features. They wanted a system that could form the basis for a commercial package, yet also come within the price bracket of private pilots, flying clubs and enthusiasts. It was evident from other products, that
users wanted everything to operate inside the software, seamlessly and reliably. They did not want to have to extensively configure the software and download or purchase add-on units to achieve their ideal system. Nor did they want the uncertainty of having to rely on third-party products for proper operation.
AirNav Systems have changed all that. Everything is inside one piece of software and this feeds the most advanced receiver interface on the market. Welcome to RadarBox!

Some FAQs
Why the 5 min. Internet delay?
For security reasons, network data is delayed by 5 minutes. This is an internationally recognised standard and reflects a responsible approach to data sharing by AirNav Systems, ONLY RadarBox has the data sharing network function provided as part of the software. Network access is free for the first 12 months. Thereafter access costs only 5
Euros per month. If you choose not to subscribe to the Network after your free 12 months, all functions of RadarBox continue to work as normal, with the exception that you cannot see data shared by other users on the Network. The choice is yours and your investment is safe.
What PC do I need?
Any modern PC that is capable of running Windows XP or VISTA should be just fine.
It will run just as happily on a laptop as a desktop. You will need a USB-2 port, but that is about it. The software comes on a CD-Rom, so you will need a CD drive to load the software.
What is the “Radar” range?
The main determining factor is the height of the aircraft and the efficiency of your antenna. A window mounted antenna will work OK, but will favour the window direction. The better option is to place the antenna outside and as much in the clear as possible. AirNav Systems offer a couple of alternative antennas to the one provided. These offer additional gain and are intended for outside use. Given these variables, the range is typically 50 miles to 250 miles. This of course is dramatically reduced for aircraft on the runway or just a few hundred feet up. In such cases jump in your car with a laptop and enjoy the fun of seeing the aircraft lift off or land, and watching their progress.

What’s in The Box?
The RadarBox package offers you everything you need to monitor aircraft on your PC -other than the PC itself.
The AirNav software is the heart of the virtual radar setup. It offers unprecedented
data detail on a superb graphics mapping base that is easy on the eye and razor sharp. The software not only integrates seamlessly with the live data stream, it also acts as a gateway to aircraft movements around the world achieved by its exclusive feature of data sharing with others. Data sharing is totally automatic and needs no setting up or complex installation. In fact, one of the reasons why RadarBox has become so popular is its simplicity and stability. It really is a “plug-n-play” product. There are no third party programs needed, everything is in the box!
The extremely sensitive receiver included in the package has unbeatable performance and comes with a portable aerial that has a magnetic base, making it very easy to mount on a car for portable work. The receiver requires no tuning, everything is automatic and the whole system is powered from the PC’s USB port, so no need for any external power supply.
