VHF Config check please

Can a expirianced user tell me if this airband setup is correct ?
Does this scan 4 frequency's from the same dongle?

Use Multichannel mode!

Something like this

You have rtl_airband or rtl-airband-rb??

You have rtl_airband or rtl-airband-rb??

If configuring multiple frequencies on a single rtl-sdr, would you use one Serial Key to feed AirNav RadarBox?
