Getting Access to ADS-B data?

[ppragman]

Anybody know how a third part can get a hold of ADS-B data? Out of curiosity?

You mean something like this? I've always wanted one but could never justify the cost.

Yeah, $700 is a little pricey.

Still 1/2 the cost of the cheapest one in the US for experimental aircraft.

WAY less than the Garmin TSO'ed unit.

I'm assuming you know any CRABS terminal can save all the data it displays, right?

Yep yep, I want current data.

The two I've heard of that fit that mission are the Airnav Radar Box or the Kinetic Avionic SBS-1. I think both are in the ~$750 range, and I've generally heard more favorable reviews of the SBS-1 (even here on JC).
