I saw the option for enabling Zerotier but haven't found any documentation for it at Global Exchange. Is that for ADSBX support to connect or for us to connect?

Has anyone tried access with Remote.IT ? It is another service like Zerotier.

Any info or guidance is welcome,
Thanks,

Raspbery Pi 4 with the GlobalExchange op system. All was going well for a couple weeks until my 978 stopped reporting any data. I may have myself to blame because I was experimenting with the ADSBX image and ran updates and made other system changes. Is it possible I've accidentally updated the drivers for the 978? Or corrupted it or maybe it just overheated or just died? I've reloaded a...

I'm experimenting and will post results. I went with the Flirc cases because of cost and for ADSBX feeding, you don't need access to the headers for the camera, GPIO's etc.. YMMV, but I see no compelling case for adding GPS or any other external sh*t to build a reliable ADSB-X feeder, so that's why I went with a case that encloses the whole Pi4b board.]]> Thu, 04 Aug 2022 04:27:50 +0000 https://www.adsbexchange.com/forum/threads/remote-outdoor-feeder-progress.637901/ https://www.adsbexchange.com/forum/threads/remote-outdoor-feeder-progress.637901/ invalid@example.com (Kuunanet) Kuunanet

So I want to install a remote ADS-B receiver on a mountain top and feed the data over 4G. The issue is that I don't have any power there, so it needs to be solar. Because of the location far north and often extreme weather, I really need to conserve power and minimize the size of the solar panel, so power consumption of 4-5 watts is the max, but 3 watts would be much better. I have to add that the location is a low-traffic one, probably no more than 50-100 aircrafts...

I have just set up a feeder with the ADSBx starter kit (the blue SDR) and it works pretty good but due to my location (LOS due to terrain) I need to put the antenna in the attic (roof antenna isn't allowed in my condo community). Going off wiedehopf's hardware list, I have a few questions:

1. If I'm understanding the specs for the ADSBx blue SDR and the information in a thread in another part of this forum, I don't need an amplifier at the antenna end if I get the Proxicast 50'...

My second SDR (NESDR SMART) works, but it is not sensitive enough.
