Hello
I contacted FR24 several times regarding interference on the 1090 MHz band where F-SBFI2 feed is located. I also host FlightAware receiver, which has lost range too. The range decreased from approx 200 nm down to 33-39 nm. Coverage is very poor.
I had checked using FlightAware ProStick + FlightAware BPF the 1090 MHz band using SDR# (the only tools I have now) and I found a disturbing lump close to 1088 MHz. If the RTL AGC is left on the noise floor skyrockets a very high and disturbing level. I have attached screenshots of SDR# below:
RTL AGC ON
RTL AGC ON - TUNER AGC ON.jpg
RTL AGC OFF

I am trying to reach FR24 support but get no reply from them. I managed to get range back using the FA ProStick + BPF as above running with RTL AGC OFF and TUNER AGC ON which gave range back, as below:

Is there any way gain could be turned down on a FR24 receiver ? Seems that too high a gain is pumping noise up too much.
There are no cell towers or anything new in the vicinity. This receiver has been installed on this site for almost two years with no issues.
Any insights will be much appreciated.
