    Is it possible to feed and receive the network using Windows 10? Thanks from a new member!

    Yes
    I've posted already link to download Windows MLAT client. Search this forum.
    For feeding and receiving MLAT data you can use VRS (free).

    Christmas fever is over :).
    Please write what do you have already (except of PC running W10).
    Basics are:
    - USB stick + antenna (supporting 1090 MHz and/or 978 MHz for US)
    - driver installation software (zadig)
    - decoder like DUMP1090 (I can send link to Windows version)
    - MLAT cliient (see above)
    - VRS (optionally but for Windows rather necessary)

    We'll help you to configure your station.

    Thank you for the reply...

    I have the following:

    SDR Play RSP1A
    Also a RTL-SDR Dongle
    1090 antenna

    I do not have (Nor am I familiar with):

    Dump 1090
    MLAT Client
    VRS
    Zadig software

    I sincerely appreciate your assistance and I am serious about taking part in your system, and a belated Merry Christmas!

    OK let's start :)
    Download Zadig first. http://zadig.akeo.ie/
    If you already connected USB stick try to connect it to other USB socket on your PC. After that immediately cancel driver installation (after downloading Zadig disconnect your PC from Internet).
    Plug in USB stick and run Zadig, select discovered device and install drivers.
    In the meantime you can download and install VRS (Virtual Radar Server).
    Let me know when you are ready.

    Hey Steve, looking at the coverage graphics i'm sure your feed will be greatly appreciated as there aren't many feeding near your area!

    Hello everyone, I just discovered this website service. I was using FR24 for a while and feeding with a USB stick and a fairly good antenna but I am unhappy with the service because they block so many aircraft that I hear aircraft all the time but I do not see anything on the map...

    so here I am learning and I want to feed data here. How do I configure my stick to feed to here?
