Simple guide to feed to FR24 and adsb exchange & antenna help T-EGSH156

[T-EGSH156]

Apologies if covered elsewhere!

I have been feeding to FR24 for a year i guess now. Im not great with computers but followed the instructions how to set up raspberry pi and it worked fine!

I have research how to feed to other sites. I like adsb exchange and would like to feed to them as well.

Problem is I just don't understand how to. I have dyslexia and this adds to me not understanding. A video would help so much!

Does anyone have a really simple 'Idiots guide' somewhere that would help me with this?

Do I just simply need to use the SD card and add some more info to it?

I do love FR24 and watching the planes!

Also, any help on an antenna? I have mine right at the top of the loft and have extended my range from 60 - 110 miles. But I got the cheapest antenna, would a better antenna help, any recommendations?

Thanks

I don't suppose this will help you: https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wi...ADS-B-receiver

Everything you need to do is described though, so ... would just require you to keep going.
Maybe try on 2nd sd card so you can plug in the old one if you aren't getting further?

This is a good antenna, small and easy to handle. Prices are very fair also including freight. If they are out of stock he will make one for you. I have bought 4 and they work perfectly. https://vinnant.sk/store/product/fe1090-p

Thanks for replying, apologies for the late reply!

This is the initial one I bought, my friend who helps me, unfortunately, we don't speak anymore, so I have to seek help here.

The one you suggested, do you think it might produce a larger range than the one I have below?

I have it as high as possible in the loft and get about 120 miles from Norwich, UK. When it was on my windowsill downstairs I got about 65 miles.

I'm not confident enough to do an external antenna, so was just seeing if another antenna might produce a better result?

What do you think?

The suggested antennas can be used indoors.
All good antennas are intended for outdoor use, none of the "indoor" labeled antennas are any good.

I have a similar antenna like that one, that I use for experimenting and just need a quick setup. Even when I place it outdoors it does not come anywhere near the Vinnant antennas or other outdoor version. I think even the PCB-antennas that are dirt-cheap are better than those. But location is everything.
