How does the software know which dongle to run on what freq like 1090 on one and 978 on the other because I would like to have the 1090 run on the flightaware usb stick and the other on the rt3 V3 usb
You can assign serials. Unplug non 978 SDRs and use this command: sudo rtl_eeprom -s 978 Unplug non 1090 SDRs and use this command: sudo rtl_eeprom -s 1090 Unplug both SDRs, plug them back in again to make the system aware of the new serials. A reboot will not do that. Depending on the image / software you use, configuring the programs for those serials will be different, so please elaborate what image / software you are using.
every time i run the command it says recognized the generic usb device and then failed to start the device
Apparently there is a bogus version installed by mistake on the latest image, remove it like this: sudo rm /usr/local/bin/rtl_* Then try again.
Okay got the serials right what do you have to edit or put in the asbx.env file I mean do I have to edit it to say something different or ad a line
In adsb-config.txt you turn on 978 by setting it to yes. Then in /boot/adsbx-env you remove the # in front of the line with the 978 and put a # in front of the line that has the same beginning, i think it starts with RECEIVER_OPTIONS.
Thanks removed the # from the 1st line and added it to the second and it seems to be working thanks for all your help
