Saturnus' topic on getting a better Dump1090 etc. understanding, toward the ultimate setup in Docker

Probalby your clock is not stable.

dump1090-fa likes to run on real hardware so no USB data is lost.

Run rtl_test after stopping dump1090:

rtl_test -s 2400000

Until a second after startup some lost samples are acceptable.
After that, any lost samples will be a problem for MLAT.
