At the moment, im using fA’s dump1090 (as part of the standard package install).
I used Mutability in the past, but that seems to have dissapeared - later instructions I found suggested the only way to install that these days is to build it yourself - is that still a thing?
Chnaged from the default -10 to 49.6, which showed as “best” on my rig.
Just testing for PPM adjustment now…
Still running dump1090-fa from Romeo Golf’s branch of ADSBReceiver… I’d like to use Obj’s Mutability fork, but none of the install instructions (including build from the repo) seem to work.
Has Mut been discontinued now?
Basically, the test is highly imperfect since traffic is continually changing. Ideally you’d want to test two otherwise identical setups at the same time and take a sample for a few minutes with one setup at a static gain vs the test rig at your test gain. Although it’s imperfect (as-is), it’s still a decent way to find a rough ballpark - especially if you sample multiple times and at different times of day/night. It’s really tough to compare continually changing data without a watermark, but not everyone has multiple rigs laying around to test so something is better than nothing for the most part. Just keep the shortcomings in the back of your mind when analyzing results.
