I’m getting started on local ADS-B monitoring, mainly interested in local public safety aircraft tracking, all within about 20 miles of me and I have questions.
I’m planning on using a wide band scanning antenna (Diamond D130NJ) that runs through two powered Stridsberg multicouplers with LMR400 over about 15 feet that’s used to feed my personal and feed scanners. Is there anything wrong with this? I know there are better ways but for various reasons I would rather do it this way.
I was planning on using virtual radar server on windows for local viewing of tracking. Can this program also feed to the major providers as well or do I need something else for that? Is there a program that can feed to all of them?
What’s SDR receiver should I get? A general one or one of the ADS-B specific? I don’t have any strong transmitters near me and it will only be used for this.
thanks.
