Track your ADSB-out enabled aircraft via ADSB data, no short-range radios needed!

The ADSb is transmitted at 20 watts and would have more range than the high gain antenna setup and is also independent. This independent link would provide a backup source of data in case the tracker loses acquisition of the target.
