I just started feeding a few days ago, but I'm already looking at getting better performance.
I used a generic USB dongle with the supplied antenna, which I cut down to 52mm (67mm total) and used a metal can about 70mm high as a ground plane and my range and received aircrafts went up a bit, but we're talking from 25 to maybe 40nm here lol. I just bought the FA antenna and some lmr400 to get the antenna outside and higher.
Now, we have a large Verizon cell tower about 1/2 mile from here and I was thinking of getting the FA prostick plus with the built in filter to replace my other one.
Will it be as simple as switching the dongles or will I have to recode something? I just installed the fr24 package on a micro SD and installed it in a Raspberry Pi 3, nothing else really. I also have the basic dump1090 that's included in the fr24 package visible on port 8080, any way to add distance rings on that?
Thanks from a newbie
