    FlightAware Blue stick
    Radarbox 1090

    These have 1090 LNA built in. You will regret going cheap and will spend more to buy a 1090 filter.

    My NooElec NESDR SMArt v4 gets so hot that I never use it unattended.

    Looks like it's working, what are you asking?

    Thanks James, I wasn't sure if anything else was needed from my end.

    I've been troubleshooting a network issue that just popped up. Looks like the wireless adapter I'm using stops working after a period of time. Using ethernet has not reproduced the issue. In the console I see the following message "No Binary Formatter Available, falling back to text format"

    What does this mean and is there something that needs to be changed?

    Not an issue. Just one of the stats scripts for the dashboard barking ....

    I need a new wireless adaptor. Any recommendation for Pi? Was looking at a few on Amazon, but want to see if there is a specific model that is suited for this.

    Pi 3B and Pi 3B+ have built in Wifi.

    Hi James, I'm aware, my concern is the location where I plan to drop the unit may be slightly difficult for a solid signal.

    2.4Ghz. Don't use 5ghz. Should give you a long ways, even through walls.

    The primary differences between the two frequencies are the range (coverage) and bandwidth (speed) that the bands provide. The 2.4 GHz band provides coverage at a longer range(20–30Ft) but transmits data at slower speeds. The 5 GHz band provides less coverage but transmits data at faster speeds.

    The range is lower in the 5 GHz band(10–15 ft)because higher frequencies cannot penetrate solid objects, such as walls and floors. However, higher frequencies allow data to be transmitted faster than lower frequencies, so the 5 GHz band allows you to upload and download files faster.
