What would be the best way to confirm the Flightaware filter I bought is working properly.
I am asking because I also just bought a ProStick and I have been playing around with my setup. I noticed that when I remove the filter from the setup the Noise on the ADS-B Signal Level chart actually goes down. I would have thought that when I remove the filter that noise should increase. Am I not understanding what that statistic is actually telling me?
Doesn’t sound right. Check your connections. The filter should introduce some attenuation but not enough to drop your numbers that much unless you already have significant line loss.
What are your gain and/or AGC settings? Did you try running wide open, i.e. no gain setting and no AGC?
Curious as to where/how this noise figure is calculated. I don’t use PiAware directly on the RPi that has the dongle, so don’t have that view.
My connections are good, professionally made, bare minimum adapters. FA antenna on roof, 30’ RG6 to RPi running stock Piaware from FA. I may have tweaked it but not sure. Checking…
