For Beginners - How to Set / Change Gain

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
2

I used ‘Case 2’ above because i installed piaware & dump1090-fa using apt-get etc. Is that correct?

Setting gain to 29.7 is what i did. But is the change from -10 to +29.7 that’s a change of 40dB. Is that going to cause problems? Should i set it to some other value?

I’m using a FA Pro dongle, an RPi3, and a 1/4 wave ground plane antenna set by the window indoors.

Thanks…
