Advice on setup

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
2

Some quick observations:

  1. Filters plus the blue FA Stick? Maybe not needed. See this topic:
    Do I Need A Filter?

  2. Gain. Could consider increasing the gain on the ADSB1 Back. 0.3 %. Unless you have planes flying overhead and you lose reception brieflly. It’s okay to have messages greater than 3dBFS; depends on the objective of your feeder. Might get a little more range.

  3. Checked your range compared to theoretical max? Check your tracks?
    Use tar1090 and add heywhatsthat range outline and also check ?pTracks to see if the gain setting is getting you the max range or if you are more interested in the close/overhead planes.

  4. Whatever you change, give it time to generate some data/graphs. Small changes.
