Micro radarbox USB dongle on laptop for remote sites.

I am a PPL of some 1000 hours and am now a CAA PfCO for drones. Started using the adsbexchange on a laptop while out on location with mixed success depending on wifi / 4g coverage. This is of great help as military helicopters regularly fly over the area at low altitude as well as some civilian.
So I decided to go one step further and bought a MicroRadarBox USB dongle and downloaded their software.
Adsbexchange software took about 10 to 15 minutes to get the hang of and setup for my area - brilliant but had to use WiFi through 4g - not good in remote areas.
The RadarBox software would have been great with the dongle but it was not. In fact it was awfull !! I spent hours trying to set it up - the feeds were coming in but the map interface is dreadful and would not download optional maps. It ignored my settings and filtering was very limited. In the end I got fed up with it.
So here is my question.
Can I configure the usb dongle through the virtual server software to work with adsbexchange ?
I have installed the server software and it seemed to recognise the dongle but the dongle would not let it connect. I have checked through the forum but not found any answers as to why.
Can anyone help please as I really really want to stay with ADBSEXCHANGE.
Keep up the good work.
ttfn

 

Hi and thanks. Its Windows 10 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon laptop.

OK both installed.

 

OK Both installed

 

A driver was installed however I have now reinstalled with the above. Running virtual server port 30005 shows as connecting however when I run the wizard to autoconfigure I cannot get the usb serial port number. So no data is coming through. Will google again to find help for usb com ports. It seems very close to working !!

 

Nearly - Mine is black and called MicroRadarBox and the aerial lead comes out of the side.

 

Now able to see Ports and nothing shows for dongle even though its recognised in device manager ?

 

Ok - installed ModeSDeco2 and ran it. Now VirtualServer cannot connect to dongle - reports dongle rejected connection. Not found the ModeSDeco2 web server either. Checking the ModeSDeco2 ini file but no idea what needs changing ?

It should connect to modesdeco2.[/QUOTE]
OK VRS is showing connection and aircraft which are also on the localhost map. I am trying to find the bit where ADBSExchange gets the connection to VRS and receives aircraft data ?
So very very close now.
