total cost minus shipping, antenna, and internet connection is now around 45$. The raspberry PI now has software that will let it feed planeplotter directly with no need for anything else other than the Raspberry Pi and receiver dongle. Read more here: Antenne Active PCB 1090 MHz - 1090 MHz Active PCB antenna - F5ANN is still working on the design. I am going to get an antenna that has a built in bandpass filter and amplifier once the design is completed. Right now I use a DPD 1090 antenna you can find it here: DPD Productions - VHF Air/Aviation Band, FBO Base, ACARS & ADS-B (SBS / RadarBox) Antennas for Commercial & Hobbyist Applications. The receivers / dongles run about 18$ NooElec - SDR Receivers - Software Defined Radio The antenna I use I am getting ready to replace.
#PLANEPLOTTER MOBILE HELP INSTALL#
The receiver dongles that Nooelec sells come with pre-cut 1090Mhz antennas however they are not what you would install at a radio site.

Extra antenna's may not help if they are not tuned to 1090 Mhz. To do this you need an antenna, receiver, Computer (or single board computer), and an internet connection. I have a question though, can you do multilateration with your 4 dongles feeding virtual radar server? I just don't know that much about VRS. Gariac, thank you for thinking my idea is nuts.
