Portable Shack

[Dark_Hunter]

I don't really have a shack so I would share my radios I use instead. From left to right. My Tait TP8115 programmed for 2M ham radio bands. Middle, radio programed to scan radio with selcalling decoding displaying statuses. Far-right, radio programmed for Fire scanning with selcalling decoding.

I don't really have a shack ... <snip>

Where one's radios are, there one's shack is found. Thanks for sharing Dark Hunter! 73, Dave K4EET

Absolutely right. I take my portable shack to work with me each day

Cool radios.

Cant edit my thread, but here's something I have set up for use to monitor ambo and ham use.

These are set up to monitor pocsag and ambo and record to disk, all private.

 

[Stupidfatkid]

What's ambo? I'm not familiar with that.

What's ambo? I'm not familiar with that.

"Ambo" is a shortening of "Ambulance" in the USA, I'm guessing the same is true in NZ

Makes sense. I saw POCSAG and thought ambo might be a digital mode I hadn't head about.

My Aircraft Tracker, Home Location.

Nice. I have a very similar setup. I run dump1090 on a Pi that then feeds the flight data to an AtomicPi running VirtualRadar.

 

[Dark_Hunter]

New location up to feed ADS-B Exchange.

 

[Stupidfatkid]

Looks like you gained some elevation with the new location of the antenna. Are you receiving more aircraft? Looks like you switched from POE on the Pi to WiFi and standard micro USB power. I run my ADSB receiver on WiFi. Have you noticed any difference in the decoding accuracy switching to WiFi over being hardwired with a network cable?

 

[Dark_Hunter]

Hello, this is a new setup in another location entirely.

As for the WiFi I haven't noticed much difference in turns of decoding messages.

It would make sense to have to unit close to your router anyway witch it is.

Has for aircraft numbers I say I would get 24 on a good day.
