Plane Finder Radar Receiver - possible FPGA/GPS bargain?

@TomMuc

really - not a single person in this forum owns this box or knows something about it ???

As regards fpga for Flightaware, I think that unlike Planefinder, their MLAT calculation method does not depend on it. Please see my post linked below, and several posts after it (including obj’s post). Replace XXXXX in my post by Planefinder

Portable ADSB receiver

My question and the admin’s response on another data sharing site XXXXXX: My Question: Would XXXXXX use my data for MLAT calculations if I add Adafruit GPS HAT to my Pi2? XXXXXX Admin’s Answer: No. We tried this in the early days and it was so variable that it had no benefit over the “clock” in the receivers. We timestamp within the FPGA as soon as the signal hits the front end, same place, reliably every signal.
