Hi everyone
I'd like to hear what controllers think of an RDF in Euroscope.
If you don't know what it is; here's a brief explanation:
"Radio Direction Finder (RDF) assists the controllers in rapidly identifying which aircraft is transmitting on the frequency. " [EUROCONTROL]
It addresses, for controllers, an important problem: the voice codec. Gone are the days asking to repeat the callsigns!

I personally think such plugin would require relatively low work compared to others, especially due to its tremendous potential and usability. Additionally, most of the code code has already been written! The MUAC plugin by Pierre Ferran (https://github.com/pierr3/UACPlugin) includes a fully functional RDF. Though it unfortunately requires a separate radar screen, with custom tags etc, for it to be used.
Controllers, make some noise! And maybe,... just maybe,... we can see an RDF in the near future.
Kind regards,
Matisse Van Wezer
