978 UAT - Is It Worth Adding?

How about non PiAware SD card image setups? I tried to run those command to add my 2nd dongle for UAT and it was returned an error “option only supported on PiAware SD card images”.

For Piaware+dump1090-fa package install on Raspbian OS, you have to first install dump978-fa and after that configure. See below:

(1) Install dump978-fa

wget https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/p/piaware-support/piaware-repository_4.0_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i piaware-repository_4.0_all.deb

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install dump978-fa

(2) Configure
