I run combine1090 (and was able to send Pi's to friends all over the US to send me their ADS-B data too!). Check out https://radar.airport-frequencies.com Also have it running op25 (trunked radio systems) for a real-time police/fire scanner that refreshes every time a new transmission is recorded and displays on another subdomain. Check out https://ducomm.scanner-frequencies.com

As far as "girl" projects...I think maybe it's more of an age thing rather than a gender thing (both boys and girls would dig working with a Pi) - I think the age matters more because there could be a learning curve involved

cool.

do you know why does the fire scanner uses a computer voice? they use text message that are read or something like that?

Not sure how they do it but any time there's a fire/EMS emergency that's what plays in the station...then the human dispatcher responds to whatever units say they're going to the emergency
