wait, no, the blue one
yeah that's actually an rtl2838
probably same shit
the blue one is meant to have R820T2 whereas the black one is R820T or something
supposedly better
right now I have the antenna dangling outside my window which gives me a pretty decent 100km ~120° range southwards
how's the reception if you just place it inside next to the window?
already got my free flightradar24 business account 😄
nice
pretty shit, I barely got 5 nautical miles or so
so the quantity of data you upload doesn't really matter?
don't really know too much details, they turned it on after the tracker was on for an hour or three
I'm currently installing virtual radar server on my debian server so I don't have to host that shit on the desktop
works really well
the rpi broadcasts raw data on port 30002 and 30003 which you can use for all kinds of apps, including flight sim
Barely anything flies over here but I'm gonna be living like 6-7 miles away from london heathrow soon
uptime isn't 100% yet because it hasnt ran for 24 hours
I'm in The Hague, nearby Rotterdam Airport
couple hours ago I also picked up an emergency helicopter 😄
yup
hoping to expand the range when I get the new antenna, it comes with a 3 meter cable which should allow me to chuck it onto the roof
though I'll probably mount a wooden plate on it so it stays upright lol
if I can get the second sdr working on the orange pi zero then that's going to be awesome

what software are you using btw? the one from flightradar24?
@transience also samsung is more reliable and faster
Looks like even the Amazon KingDians ship from China, which makes me a little skeptical about the warranty
Probably going to go for the eBay EVOs
@transience yup, Amazon has been letting Chinese stores on for a while now
They should at least state the item location like eBay though
I've accidentally bought chink shit once from amazon for £2 more
since then, I always check for amazon stufff on ali before buying
saved me a ton
pretty sleezy of Amazon ye
it's not amazon who does it
it's sellers who dropship
like they're just the middleman who sells ali shit to amazon and takes a cut
How do people normally keep their earphones tidy?
i use hooks on a wall
