So ..starting a new thread ..Aero related ...but this time for 1090 mhz data/ plane postion data reception..
Made myself a collinear antenna this afternoon specifically for 1090 mhz ..
The antenna is working fine ..and have a small lna on it ..
Tried to install RTL 1090 with SDRplay ..
BUT ...it is NOT compatible atm ..so I had no choice but to install an RTL dongle (R820T chip) which is ..
So once more using Zadig bulk usb drivers ..
Well ..the whole process of installing RTL1090 is fully automated ...which is nice ...and it automatically identifies and install using the RTL dongle ..
Once up and running it autotunes without SDR# to 1090 mhz and starts grabbing plane data ..
To prove this I have taken 2 screen grabs ..
one is pre antenna connected ...the second is a grab less than a minute after the Collinear is connected ..
Call signs are collected and displayed ..
The lates version of RTL 1090 also has a scope on which planes are plotted ..
Sadly it doesn't look as though the screens/windows can be expanded ...so looks 2 b written for low res only..
Nontheless ..I'm impressed with the ease of installation ...the software...and the sensitivity of the antenna.
Surprisingly simples to get up n running.
