JSTARS is a software application written in Java 1.6 to provide a set of features to detect and to log interested air traffic.
It works connected via a TCP/IP port of BaseStation software by Kinetic Avionic SBS-1 Virtual Radar.
In the future it could be run with AirNav RadarBox too.

- Choose type of air traffic to log: All, Customized list, Military;

- Send email notification when an interested air traffic is detected;

- Set number of air traffic items per each email before to send it;

- Set email subject with single traffic item logged;

- BCC option available to hide recipients addresses;

- HTML or Text format for notification email;

- Share with your friends, directly or via Mailing List, logs of the day or in real-time;

- Quick email sender of daily log recorded until that moment or other day's log existing in your PC;

- Monitoring and logging of unknown air traffic;

- Filter to reduce or eliminate double signature problem recorded due to BaseStation protocol that affects the most of third part programs (usually the same air traffic is registered twice, once without callsign and once with it - with JSTARS this problem is reduced or eliminated);

- Statistics and information about air traffic activity detected, error email sending, mode S rate;

- JSTARS log files could be imported with main spreadsheets or database (typical csv file format);

- Choose your field separator to obtain your wished log format;

- Save your time to extract all air traffic detected and to obtain a 'ready to work' log;

- JSTARS Log Viewer always ready to show log of the day or about other days, in different format;

- JSTARS Dat Manager to manage your .dat files (easy update, add, remove and modify, look for differences between your dat file and a friend's one), core of JSTARS (file system database);

- JSTARS Raw Viewer to show (with filters too) and save on a text file all raw data arriving from virtual radar;

- Screen Capture to save a JPEG or PNG screen image on disk, to share it on Internet via FTP upload. An image is captured when JSTARS:
--- detects your interested military or custom traffic,
--- receives any traffic detected,
--- executes your time settings of its timer

- An HTML basic template page is provided as an example to get and show the image of your radar screen captured and uploaded;

- Make an HTML page that receives upload screen captured by JSTARS of your friends to have under control a wider sky portion;

- Minimize your JSTARS as icon tray;

- Version 1.2.x introduces a new graphic user interface and shortcut access to the main features;

- Version 1.2.1 introduces a new hex code search feature to look for if an hex code is stored in JSTARS memory;

- Watch Country flag icon of traffic detected (based on the same logic of BaseStation);

- Customize your Country/Mil flags in the same way you do it with your SBS-Basestation;

- You can launch different JSTARS sessions in your PC to log different kind of air traffic (multiple licenses to do it is free);

- Small fee requested to activate all features but... Cheap :-)
