Tomorrow i will get the airspy mini…
(I can’t wait the package will arrive😃)
I hope it will give me better results.
I read the discussions about the airspy, how to install etc.
I will give it a try…
Maybe someone have some good tips/ideas?

So you have approx 24 hours to read the different mega-threads here in that forum 
I got mine for a different site a few weeks ago.
With the install of the automatic installer provided by @wiedehopf the installation is super easy.
Make sure to run the additional airspy installer as described there as additional step.
Automatic readsb installer:
You can of course install it on your dump1090-fa installation and adjust the settings accordingly.

Manual installation / configuration:
@foxhunter Is there a difference between you’re link and this one???
The first one is the Airspy setup part from my initial link
The second one is the manual installation.
I am still wondering how the additional blue FA filter improves the reception

@foxhunter
The blue filter is placed because i have here a lot noises
I live in the centre of a city…
I can try to remove the filter and see how the airspy work without it😉

Still wondering why you think it would hinder reception
1 Like
Asking how it can improve it does not imply it is hindering 
Would be interesting. I do have one here, but attaching it to the setup would require some handwork
I just removed the filter…
We will see… at the moment i don’t see any changes 
Did you adjust the gain setting?
I see smoother tracks (due to higer message rate i think)
Gain=18
Options= -v -f 1 -e 8.5
Sample_rate=12
(Running on a rpi3b+)

Thanks. At which point did you remove the filter?
@foxhunter i don’t see any change with or without filter🤣
But in overall i have more messages and a more planes🎉
Today my rpi4b arrived (with flirc case)
Tomorrow i will set it up…
Do you know what the -w (whitelist) means and does in the airspy config?
Nice little setup

That’s inconsistent How do you nave more messages and planes if you do not see any change?
Regarding the “-w” option you might need to verify the different threads here.
Or @wiedehopf can reply
I see no difference with or without the filter😉
In overall the performance is better
Sorry, but i still do not get it. If you do not see any difference, how can you determine a better performance?
