Special Data
Decoders Module
Features
- While the RAOB Basic module can plot WMO Coded, UWYO, BUFKIT, SHARP, and RAOB CSV data, this module can plot many of the world's most popular and unique sounding data formats.
- These decoders are kept up-to-date as data codes and formats change. Because new decoders and updates are continually being added, all below decode capabilities are only available with purchase of the current RAOB version (which authorizes a free upgrade to the follow-on [or Beta] program).

- ACARS/AMDAR - aircraft sounding data.
