Hi everyone, I have 2 systems with raspberry pi4 airspy mini, lna and cavity filter. the only difference are the antennas, a 9db antenna and a 4.5. I would like to merge the data coming from the system with the 4.5db antenna to system with 9db antenna and eliminate the duplicates. I currently use readsb for both systems. is it sufficient to add in RECEIVER_OPTION of readsb of the system with the 9db antenna, the command: --net-connector IP_SYSTEM_with_4,5db,30005,beast_in to merge the data and eliminate the duplicates?
The issue is different timestamps which means MLAT won’t work on the combined data.
Feeding combined data is discouraged anyhow, if you want to combine data do it for display purposes only.
As in a separate readsb that ingests data from both systems.
While a bit crude and using socat, you can use combine1090 if you don’t want to setup a separate readsb / tar1090 instance yourself.
