Yeah sorry about that. This is a software defined radio based on a hangar at Orcas island, receiving the entire airband, channelizing it into over 700 channels, and then demodulating the channels and playing whatever is sent provided it's voice. It also transcribes using a voice model and an LLM parses the output and attempts to create cards on the right hand side. It's also trying to detect simulcasts and remove the duplicate transmissions. Hope that helps explain it. It's also archiving everything so you can listen to old transmissions. Right now I'm working to keep the server up. Thanks HN. :-) For context, I'm a pilot based at KORS and a nerd.

I don't think GP is confused about the technical details, they are confused about what they are looking at and what the point is. I think the answer they were looking for is (correct me if I'm wrong) "this is a live feed of transcribed ATC comms in the Vancouver area," and possibly some evidence that there is a ground stop since things seems to be running as normal based on the most recent logs.

Yes, that's it!

What SDR did you use that has the bandwidth to capture the entire airband? You need to scan about 20MHz for the voice channels.

What STT system / model are you using?

I had a plan to try something like this from where I live, but I wasn't sure how to solve those two problems.

If you're trying to build something that integrates with the Linux desktop, check out dabri https://github.com/AshBuk/dabri

Not mine, I just found it 2 hours ago.. No mention of it on HN so not sure what others think about it.
