+Dump 1090 is a Mode S decoder specifically designed for RTLSDR devices.
+
+The main features are:
+
+* Robust decoding of weak messages.
+* Network support: TCP30003 stream (MSG5...), Raw packets, HTTP.
+* Embedded HTTP server that displays the currently detected aircrafts on
+  Google Map.
+* Single bit errors correction using the 24 bit CRC.
+* Ability to decode DF11, DF17 messages.
+* Ability to decode DF formats like DF0, DF4, DF5, DF16, DF20 and DF21 where the
+  checksum is xored with the ICAO address by brute forcing the checksum field
+  using recently seen ICAO addresses.
+* Decode raw IQ samples from file (using --ifile command line switch).
+* Interactive command-line-interfae mode where aircrafts currently detected are
+  shown as a list refreshing as more data arrives.
+* CPR coordinates decoding and track calculation from velocity.
+* TCP server streaming and receiving raw data to/from connected clients.
