Have you noticed T-MLAT7? I think it is the beta test of Raspbarry Pi MLAT. Not very precise at the moment, but early days.MLAT7.JPG

Just noticed T-MLAT6 is popping up a bit today. Maybe they are testing on both 6 and 7?

There is still a bit of work to do and possibly more receivers will help.

Received a USB enclosure antenna I ordered a couple of weeks ago. A cheap but smart one of having the usb dongle inside the antenna. Though I would get one to see what it's like.
Comparing it to one of the cheap ones that come with the USB dongles, that I had sitting right beside it inside it was going quite a bit better. It happily sees 100NM or so which is a distance limited by hills. In the direction it could see it was doing slightly better than the DPD antenna on the roof, though I need to have a look at that sometime, the range is not what it used to be. Flightradars stat page claims 191 miles for possibly a glimpse of the LAN flight, which the F-Receiver sees.
The only thing that I will have to have a look at is possibly putting a bracket upwards to have tome cable ties to attach it to. As can be seen in the photos on the page there are only two small screws that hold it on the bottom to the mount which though it's not that tall I am not sure how they'll last in Wellington wind.

Boeing 737-8FE VH-YIQ operated a Melbourne - Wellington charter as VA9014 this morning, continuing Wellington - Napier as VA9015. The charter is in connection with the Melbourne Storm v St George Illawarra Dragons rugby league match in Napier on 25th July.

Hi Everyone, With the new RPi MLAT feeder software I have started building complete all in one units with a GPS for time and a shielded case for the RTL usb stick.
If anyone wants to get on-board and increase the MLAT coverage, but you are not comfortable with Linux etc then I would be happy to help. I don't have an exact price yet, but it will be fairly reasonable. It is intended to only cover the costs. I am extremely keen to see MLAT coverage improve in NZ.
I am new around the forum, so please let me know if this is against the rules in anyway.
Cheers,
Chris021
