[aprssig] ACARS

[Tourge, Ryan R.]

I've monitored it with a scanner and a soundcard. But I'm not sure about
getting that data into APRS. Maybe someone could whip up a UI-View
plugin.

         Gee, this just keeps getting harder.  I'd really like to "see" 
airplanes on my APRS screen, in addition to stations actually running 
APRS.  Is there a simple, easy, not expensive (read: NOT $750 for a box)

way to do this?

         Thanks again,
         Earl
