It is very easy and simple to change configuration from default (1090 only) to dual (1090 + 978), but as @obj has already pointed out, it requires two dongles (one for 1090 other for 978)
Note: Since 978 is used only in USA, Steps 5 & 6 below do not apply to receivers outside USA.
5 - Serialize dongles if using UAT 978: (CLICK HERE)
If you want to recieve both ES1090 and UAT978, then two dongles are required, one for 1090 and other for 978. In this case you will have to serialize dongles so that correct dongle+antenna sets are used by dump1090-fa and dump978-fa.
For 1090 Mhz dongle: use serial # 0000109000000978
Note: You can use any other serial numbers if you want, but do not use single digit serial numbers (0 to 9) or (01 to 09), as these may conflict with device numbers. Use at least two digit numbers like 21 or 93 etc)
6 - Configure UAT 978
sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
sudo piaware-config rtlsdr-device-index 00001090
sudo piaware-config uat-sdr-device driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000978
# Reboot Pi to implement configuration settings
sudo reboot
7 - Check Status
sudo systemctl status piaware
sudo systemctl status dump1090-fa
sudo systemctl status dump978-fa
