[Discuss-gnuradio] ask : USRP Mode-S/ADS-B project

[Bino Oetomo]

Dear All

I'm just searching about low cost ADS-B Receiver/Decoder solution.
First, I found most people using SBS-1/RadarBox. They need to use 
propietary BaseStation software.
But there is pio that looks like have a good progress on handling the 
output for linux and OS-x

And then I found GNU-Radio.
I search the discussion archieve ... and looks like Eric have magic work 
on it.
So .. how is the stage of this GNU-Radio USRP Mode-S project ?
Is there any specific distribution for non technical people that just 
want to dumb decoded mode-s message to a console or pipe it to another 
program/script ?
