    Sriniva,
    It is quite easy to set up the necessary hardware to feed FLARM data, see my post earlier in this thread, the easiest option is to use a RaspberryPi 2, the GliderNet Wiki has links to a pre-compiled image that you just burn to a CF card then follow the web based configuration utility, you also need a £10 (or less) RTL dongle and an antenna, you can build your own or buy a commercial one.
    Whereabouts in the country are you based? If you fly at Lasham then I can probably meet up with you and help with any problems you run into.
    Ben.

      Thank you, for the information, I have figured out most of it by the time I got your reply.

      I fly in India in the city of Pune. We once upon a time used to have a Telegram contest with BGA & on the Indian side we had IGA in Pune, much before OLC (1950-70).

      I am trying to revive this again. but our restriction is the Air Force Station 5 Nm away like Odiham. They want to know were the gliders are to maintain traffic separation. It will be expensive to equip gliders with Mode-S/ADS-B Xpdr, hence I have been experimenting with FLARMRADAR, FR24 is idealas it will display M-S/ADS-B & gliders with Flarm.

      I am trying to look for the application to be loaded on the RP2B fot it feed data to FR24.

        As we on this topic, I would like to know what application that I need on RP 2B to feed to FR24/OGN?

          Sriniva,
          Unfortunately the FR24 feed is not done by the local reciever, it is done as a feed from the APRS server, you would be best posting your query on the OGN forum : https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!...nglidernetwork
          There is a developer who is involved with both OGN and FR24, however you would be more likely to get a detailed answer on the OGN forum.
          You may also want to look at the OGN tracker, this is a DIY tracker that can be built for around 25-30 USD and would probably be adequate in your situation.
