Hi.
My stock-standard FR24 ADS-B rig is at ~1,830m ASL on a mountain range (-44.414, 170.01) and I'm detecting and losing aircraft at ranges between 500-600 km.
I'll soon be moving the setup to the highest peak, ~1,900m ASL: Not only is it 70m higher than the current site, it has unobstructed 360 degree horizon views down to 0-1 degrees alt., unlike the current site, which loses up to 6 degrees alt. in a couple of directions.
There is essentially zero noise at this site -- I'm the only thing up here, and there's 2/3rds of nothing in most directions for scores of kms -- so is any hardware change likely to further increase the range?
Cheers, BPO.
