The title of your post is quite misleading......as that link is not to a live RADAR feed, it is delayed. The only place you will get a live RADAR feed is at the RADAR scope on an air traffic facility.
Good site for information but certainly not live.

I have the Boca Raton (Passur) site active on my computer and it is fairly close to real time but information is limited. If you reset the clock back by one hour and one minute you can see the airline, flight number, equipment, altitude, and origin and destination.

..and it's not true RADAR (although one could probably argue it is)
The data is from multiple PASSUR transponder receivers, and aircraft positions are calculated by multilateration/triangulation.

It will work anywhere the authorities will let it. Unfortunately the European authorities are somewhat stricter than the USA when it comes to flight data (remarkably!). It's the same with the data feeds for web flight trackers. The data is available in Europe, the same as it is in the USA...except for stricter rules on who can access it.

Quoting GBOAB (Reply 6): If you have £500 spare this is what you want for live flights in the UK
Actually that's one product that's better in the UK than the USA...due to most aircraft in Europe being ADS-B equipped, and few in the USA.

The delay is minimal and you can quickly adjusted to "live". I work near BOS and have this on my computer and I use it all the time. I have to agree, that it's not a radar feed.

Excellent. I'll try that here for BOS to see if it works.

If you are looking for a good flight tracking radar site, here is a good site.

I like sitting at a scope and watching live/real time
But personally, FlightAware seems to be the best overall "Flight tracking" or "Radar viewing" type website around.
Maybe A.net should create one???

It is delayed at least 20 minutes so the airplane you see on short final has most likely already got to the gate.
ATCT is right, flightaware is the best from what I've seen other than being the 1 responsible for the outstanding sequence to the runway!

Quoting Boston92 (Reply 17): True, RADAR is not a word, nor is LASER, or AWOL. All of those are acrynoms
Irrelevant really, I can have a RADAR feed, received by LASER, when I'm AWOL. Word or no word.
To summarize:
The closest you'll get to a real RADAR feed is the SBS-1 unit, which reads real-time ADS-B transmissions. Great in Europe, but less useful in the USA where a smaller percentage of aircraft are ADS-B equipped.
Websites such as FlightAware, Red1, FBOWeb, FlightExplorer all use the same FAA data feed, which actually does originate from individual FAA RADAR facilities. In almost all cases this must be delayed by a minimum of 10 minutes.
PASSUR uses it's own transponder receivers positioned around an airport/city, and calculates aircraft position from multilateration and triangulation.
