If you are familiar with different radar products, such as base reflectivity and base velocity; spectrum width, correlation coefficient and differential phase - this app is for you!
If you know what a Software Defined Radio is, you can receive and display ADS-B aircraft data on a retro-style radar screen - you will love this app!
If you are a weather geek and/or an aircraft nerd - this app is for you!
