Spent the bank holiday on the roof replacing my useless, rusted old TV pole with a new mast. Airnav ADS-B and Comet AB-380 airband antennas on a custom stainless steel bracket that took some serious effort to get into shape.

I'm in almost the highest point in town and with the mast clear of all of the surrounding rooftops (10m above street, 124m AMSL). Seem to get particularly good coverage North and West towards the Irish Sea and Scotland, but Peak District hill shadow to the East. The polar plot covers nearly the whole of the England and most of the UK after a week of operation and I'm very pleased with the results.

Can't speak so highly of the Comet antenna though, I'm relatively new to SDR (using an AirSpy R2) I can get Scottish control reliably but EGCC tower and ATIS are weak and might just be obstructed by Alderly Edge.

Looking good, serious coverage!!

Hi,

Just joined this Radarbox monitoring of planes.

Two years ago I started my first Radio project and that is " Radio Meteor Observation " or as it is called RMO (www.rmob.org) with a RTL-SDR dongle and a DIY 4 element Yagi antenna for the frequency of 174.31 MHz.

At the same time in order to understand the SDR radio stuff I made a little 1090 MHz antenna and then it started collecting dust until two days after getting my USB Flightstick I installed the Antenna again and now it is monitoring on a 24/7 PC the planes over my location.

Below the non professional set up of the two antennas. On the top of the PVC pipe the tiny 137mm dipole for 1090MHz. The dipole is 8.3 meters over ground level and ground level is 1950meter over sea level.

BTW I am also an amateur astronomer with an Observatory in the garden of the house.

Hi there,

here is mine. Station ID EXTRPI603573

Vinnant CC1090/9-PSE => 30 cm HDF 400 => Uputronics prefiltered Amp powered via USB cable => three meters HDF 400 => Sysmocon cavity filter => 10 cm HDF 400 cable=> ADSBExchange usb stick (blue) => via USB-Kabel attached to a Raspi 4 powered via POE hat-pack.

Dump1090-fa gain currently set to 20.7.

Hope you like it.

All the best, Marcus

I have noticed that I am unable to make MLAT work from the rbfeeder.ini on my PI

I opened up another Terminal and Ran:

Code Select Expand

/usr/bin/mlat-client --input-type dump1090 --input-connect 127.0.0.1:32457 --server mlat1.rb24.com:40900 --lat xx.xxxxxx --lon -y.yyyyyy --alt aaa --user EXTRPIZZZZZ --results beast,connect,127.0.0.1:32004
Substituting X,Y, Z and A for Lat, Long, Station Number, Altitude.

Within a minute or two MLAT shows in the web page, but the command window shows it quicker, Image included.
I built my PI and started with FlightAware then added Radarbox, and finally got FlightRadar in it as well.
So the same box shares to all 3. I recently also got an external antenna, this has more than doubled my range.

Hope this helps

This is an installation photos thread so wrong place for your query, this would be a better place for it https://forum.radarbox24.com/index.php?topic=102661.0

Have you installed the RB MLAT client?

My Apologies - I thought it was in a thread regarding MLAT

Weird - not sure what I did.
