How this all works: robotastic/trunk-recorder using SDR sticks, The Renfrew County FleetNet and analog I run from home and Ottawa FleetNet and P25, a friend in Ottawa hosts it for me.
Thanks for the explanation. What make/model of SDR sticks are you using and for the Ottawa P25 system, what antenna are you using?
Cheers
Before I was using the silver RTL-SDR sticks but now you can get the orange FlightAware ones off Amazon for $25 so I use those. Ottawa P25 is one of the RTL-SDR sticks I think the guy has it on a 800 MHz Yagi if I recall.
The only thing i have found is the orange ADSB ones have a 20dB Integrated Amplifier on them.Is there a big difference between the orange and the RTL's?
I don't know that one sorry. My local still stuff is all VHF, and my P25 in Ottawa is running just a silver RTL-SDR so no amp.Does the amp improve 866 MHz?
Yes.Is there a big difference between the orange and the RTL's?

How many sticks are you running for Renfrew FleetNet? I'm looking at the same concept for Peel Region.
