After some tweaking and forum coaching I have piaware logging flights.
How long (or how many plane finds) do I need before I get a cool graph. I am really interested in the ‘spider graph’ as it could help me adjust my antenna.
Thanks.

It depends on the volume of data you’re receiving, but a couple solid days is usually all.
Woo Hoooo!
I have a graph. A boring two point graph, but it’s a start. :mrgreen:
Thanks.
Next graph question…
I have the line graph showing positions and planes reported.
How do I turn on the polar/spider chart?
It should show up in the next day or so when there’s enough coverage data.
Note that the coverage distribution chart starts afresh each day at 00:00 UTC so the best time to view it is before 7pm CDT at your location. What sort of aerial do you have? The higher the better - outside preferably
Currently the small whip that ships with a $10 USB SDR and place in a poor location. Right now I’m just trying to get the rig solid.
I am experiencing a range of about 60 miles (which seems pretty darn good considering the setup).
The most data I see the more questions I have. It’s a gift and curse…
On my daily graphs I have two lines:
Aircraft Seen =
ADS-B Aircraft Seen =
Can someone link slap me with an explanation or tell me the difference? I thought my piaware setup could ONLY detect ADS-B.
“Aircraft Seen” is a count of all Mode S aircraft. “ADS-B Aircraft Seen” is only aircraft with ADS-B too.
