Finally got around to having a bash at this, dug out an old RTL-SDR Dongle, put the FR24 Image on a SD card and popped it in to a spare Raspberry Pi2 I had here.
For the Aerial I built a simple "Cantenna" It's thrown up on a painters pole using some WF100, just trying it out.
Used a Aldi New Potato Tin, drilled a hole and soldered a F Type coupler, poked all the bits out of the middle so I am just left with a thread either side:
Got some WF100 and stripped it back, fitted a F Type as normal but leaving the dielectric over the centre core, trimmed to 69mm:
Used amalgamating tape on the F Type, then fitted the it to the can using a F Type slim tool;
Using some "Liquid Tape" I sealed up any holes on top of the "Cantenna"
Using a Dremel I cut the tin to 69mm, measuring from the top of the thread:
Using some hot melt glue I mounted the whole thing in a 100 Blank CDR Case:
Lashed it up on top of a telescopic painters pole to test:
Seems to be working
