acarsdeco2 is a lightweight, multi-channel ACARS decoder written in C. It is specifically designed to work with devices (using the rtl-sdr library) and can decode multiple ACARS frequencies simultaneously within the bandwidth of your SDR.

| Feature | acarsdeco2 | acarsdec | dumpvdl2 | |---------|------------|----------|----------| | | VHF ACARS | VHF ACARS | VDL Mode 2 (VHF) | | Multi-channel | Yes (up to 8) | No (run multiple instances) | Yes | | RTL-SDR | Native | Native | Native | | JSON output | Yes | Yes (with patch) | Yes | | Bit error correction | Good | Basic | Excellent | | VDL2 support | No | No | Yes | acarsdeco2

Unlike acarsdec (which traditionally runs one instance per frequency), acarsdeco2 can handle up to 8 frequencies at once, making it exceptionally efficient for monitoring the entire ACARS VHF band.
