4 - Configuration for using both dump1090-fa & dump978-fa (Two dongles are required)
.
4.1 - Enable piaware to use dump978-fa
sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
.
4.2 - Serialize dongles if using UAT 978: (CLICK HERE)
If you want to receive 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 # 00001090
For 978 Mhz dongle : use serial # 00000978
.
4.3 - configure dump1090-fa & dump978-fa to use dongles of assigned serial numbers
sudo sed -i 's/--device-index 0/--device-index 00001090/' /etc/default/dump1090-fa
sudo sed -i 's/driver=rtlsdr/driver=rtlsdr,serial=00000978/' /etc/default/dump978-fa
## Reboot so that dump1090-fa & dump978-fa can pick their assigned dongles at boot
sudo reboot
