Hello,

I've had this port knocking about in mystuff over the past couple years if it
sounds interesting to anyone else. pyModeS lets you decode Mode S and ADS-B
messages and has a little TUI tool to view traffic.

Note that this is only usable with either manually providing your own messages
or tuning into a network source of raw or BEAST data (like from a Raspberry Pi
running readsb or similar). Last I saw, rtl_sdr works on OpenBSD, but I've
not tried it with pyrtlsdr (which doesn't exist in ports) with an SDR plugged
into an OpenBSD machine. Maybe that works?

Feedback?

Thanks,
Lucas
