I cannot find data.json on my system. As far as I understand it, this is the data produced by dump1090, but how do I produce this file? I run dump1090 with the following parameters:
Code:./dump1090 --interactive --net --net-beast --interactive-rows 60 --aggressive --enable-agc

There are a bunch of files that need editing such as your coordinates etc. I'm away from my computer at the moment will reply when I can. Good luck

Guys, I need your help!
I get very reasonable results with the little crap antenna that was included in my DVB-T stick mounted on the rooflight (outside), dump1090 receives between 15 and 30 planes and feeds them properly to FR24. I received planes from 245 nm away, in average the limit is at around 150 nm. Today I received an adapter to connect my scanner antenna (BNC) to the stick and now I receive 1 or 2 planes at maximum. The antenna works fine when I use it on my scanner, but gives extremely poor results on the stick.
I tested the antenna with the stick with rtl_fm, a program to receive am/fm-radio and I can hear ATIS from EDDN airport loud and clear (EDDN is 11 kilometers away on the other end of the city). So the stick-antenna-combinations seems to work. But with dump1090 I get nearly nothing.
Is it possible that the signal is too strong for dump1090? I played a little bit with --gain and --enable-agc, but without any improvement.
Any ideas?Feeder T-EDDN26

Try making a coaxial collinear - try 4 elements to start with, see http://www.balarad.net/
- tape it to a stick of bamboo or something else non-metallic to support it while you test ... see what happens.

that antenna is not for 1090Mhz and peterhr is correct. You can blame dump 1090For official support use Contact Form

Maybe I did not write that clear enough. It is an external antenna for scanners with a range of 25 to 2000 MHz, when I is it on my hand-scanner and tune to 1090 MHz I can even hear the typical noise of a data transmission. This is how the antenna looks like:

This antenna should provide a much better reception than the crap 1$-antenna that came with the USB-stick.Feeder T-EDDN26

Antenna with range from 25-2000Mhz cannot be perfect at all frequencies in that range. That antenna receive 1090, but signal quality is not good enough like one peter suggested to you has.
That is UHF/VHF antenna.
Dongle antenna is made for freq. closer to 1090Mhz then that one.For official support use Contact Form

There is NO way an ant can cover that range, this looks more like an ornamental paperweight !!!
At best you will probably get a gain of around -20db at 1090Mhz and that will be swamped by all the random signals that this ornament picks up!
there is a good reason why people use TUNED antennae’s for reception, they give good gain at the required frequency and good rejection of everything else (some people also use narrow band filters to remove things like cellphone pickup).
If you are even half serious about ADS-B reception then you need to build or buy a proper antennae.FR24 F-EGLF1, Blitzortung station 878, OGN Aldersht2, PilotAware PWAldersht, PlanePlotter M7.

Originally posted by sesom View PostThanks for the clear words. I already read a lot about building an antenna on http://www.balarad.net/ and I will build one after my vacation. I'll be in Japan for the next weeks and in the moment priority #1 is to get everything running stable on a Raspberry Pi.
One thing you will need is an adaptor to match the dongle MCX socket to whatever you are doing with the antenna.

The temporary mount will enable you to take it down and to tweak it before sealing it into a tube of some sort.
Also ensure that the tube you use is suitable, different mineral fillers used in the plastic tubes can make some useless, a colleague of mine who is researching antennae design has found reports that black plastic pipes are NOT suitable but most white or grey ones should be.FR24 F-EGLF1, Blitzortung station 878, OGN Aldersht2, PilotAware PWAldersht, PlanePlotter M7.
