Glad you like our gear and really appreciate you being a host!

We haven't done anything with the GPS data yet and probably won't with this generation of FlightFeeders. We're currently in the design phase for a Pi4 based kit with a brand new FlightAware designed SDR. Part of that project includes an Epic for what we're calling "Science Packages" internally. What you suggest fits in with that concept.

Do you have any plans to include AIS for ship tracking as well? I guess that would need a second SDR, or perhaps you can cycle through the two frequencies and get enough messages to still be usable?

Edit: Or maybe support for ATC radio traffic? Again, it probably needs a second SDR, but it would make it much easier for those who are interested than it is now. I would love to be able to just run some daemon and get an audio stream on a local port and maybe an audio player in the web client.
