In the adsb world predominantly oriented to high quality professional equipment, my ideas were not appreciated in the beginning, but gradually made their way.
FLIGHT RADAR 24 ADS B RECEIVER TV
I was one of the very few who set upon to use low-cost (rather no-cost )DIY antenna, low-cost Satellite Amplifier, and low-cost common TV dish/antenna coax (RG6). Two and half years ago when I started adsb hobby, most hobbyist will go for professional antennas, speciality amplifiers, filters, and low attenuation costly coax. My main interest was, and is, to develop low cost and easy DIY hardware system. Flightaware has additional advantage of active technical support and openness.Īnyway, data feeding is not, and was never, my main objective. I feed all these sites in return to use of their forum and support.
FLIGHT RADAR 24 ADS B RECEIVER SOFTWARE
Radarbox24 still inttermittent on Windows Desktop, as they dont have software to feed from RPi.
In begining of this year, I purchased Raspberry Pi, and switched the feed of Planefinder & Flightradar24 to RPi, and also added Flightaware feed, and a 24/7 feed is working since then. This was an experiment & exploration, as my Desktop did not run 24 hrs a dsy / 7 days a week. When I landed into the adsb hobby 2½ years ago, I started feeding Planefinder, Flightradar24 and Radarbox24 using my DVB-T, and receiver software RTL1090 installed on Windows Desktop. I’ve never considered Planefinder - maybe I need to look at that. MLAT-radar-net is yet another source of data The Piaware forum is also a useful resource. Piaware is a whole different thing - as mentioned by the OP, the ability to take the MLAT data and use it was the deciding factor. I used to send data to Flightaware from my SBS-3 but saw no benefit from it so I stopped the feed. I also like the playback feature so I contribute as “payment” for using that facility.įlightaware - I wouldn’t bother with it except for its Piaware software. Planeplotter because it offered MLAT before anyone else so I continue to use it.įR24 because I occasionally use the app when on vacation. I’m happy to supply data to them all since they provide different options and capabilities.īefore I explain why I contribute to each of those, let me just say I’m a plane spotter - I want to know the tail number :
It doesn’t cost me anything to send the data since the monthly charge for the 50Mb down /15Mb up broadband link includes unlimited data. I’m currently sending my data to PlanePlotter, FR24, Flightaware (via Piaware) and a UK network. Posts up to now show that i’m not a ‚natural born fanboy‘ but now i have to say ‚thank you houston‘ I asked myself ‚why should they do this over the coming years‘ as what they do costs lots of money and all the others (pf, fr24 etc.) get your data too - nearly for nothing.

very very good mlat data back-feed for free use in any way.the guys from planefinder are friendly but their app and webinterface are mediocre - from flightradar24 you get nearly zero support and their main advantage the app costs about 20$ all inclusive. My reasons to shut down all other feeds was: what do i get back from them for my about 50-100$/month worth data? in my opinion - nearly nothing. as my internet-connection is 50mbit down and 10 mbit up - this was definitely not the reason even it was funny to become global number six feeder in planefinder - yesterday i shut down all my feeds apart from flightaware. It’s about three months ago when i started this ads-b thing and feeding planefinder then flightaware and at least flightradar24. My intention with this post is - to get a real discussion about other feeds beside flightaware.
