Hi all,
I appreciate that this is basic knowledge to those who have been doing this for some time but I am new to tracking via ADS/B and installed dongles and started feeding FR24 since May 4th.
I have two setups, which are both feeding FR24 independently using same Radar alias.
Setup 1: USB Dongle connected to PC with supplied antenna situated as high as possible (unable to get above roof) outside front of house tracking North, East, South. This is fed by 10m Active USB cable with no extension between dongle and antenna.
Setup 2: Same as setup 1 but connected to my Laptop with antenna at rear of house tracking South, West, North.
Thus, giving me 360 degrees of proposed tracking.
1090MHz Software by Jetvision shows I am easily tracking upto 40 aircraft on each dongle - depending how busy the sky is, up to a range of approx *75nm and feeding FR24 with upto 20 aircraft independently using same Radar alias, although some will be duplicates.
With all the above said and in your opinion. What I have setup which is working well, would I benefit any further if I purchased an SBS-1/1er?
What would I like to benefit? A longer range of signal. No fragmented data. No intermittent aircraft timeouts.
As stated, I am unable to get above roof due to not having ladders that can reach almost 50-60ft.
An SBS-3 is out of my price range at present, hence 1/1er.
Thanks
