    Is there a trusted source where I could look up sqwark codes for mil tracks? Just getting into all this so pointers for this and perhaps a good detail on the differences of the filter types over and above what is offered on the map would be appreciated. e.g. LADD vs MODE S vs Military and so on.

    TIA.

    I use https://www.flightradars.eu/squawkcodes.html in the UK. Mostly correct but I've seen the odd aircraft with an "unassigned" code.

    It would be nice if ADSBX could decode the squawk code in the info window, but I suspect there are not an open lists, and it would get complicated because it would depend on where the aircraft you are looking at got its squawk code from.
