Just thought I would drop this in here.
Just a share, I have no affiliation with either of these programs.
After the local LEO decided it was a good idea to encrypt all of their radio traffic I decided to look into some of the other hobbies I have not played with for a few years.
Namely aircraft tracking.
Looked around on the internet for anything new but just went back to Plane Plotter and RTL1090, then found that RTL-DUO, does that ever work better.
Getting two dongles to talk to each other was a little bit of a pain in the back side, with the RTL1090, at least it was for me.
Seems like the links are all broken for RTL-DUO, but the software seems to be working.
It grabs the first 2 dongles it sees, kind of a pain if using other dongles for SDR as they use different antennas. Probably a way to program the appropriate dongle, I just don't know how.
I used the antenna recipe from here.

Am getting close to 250mile range North and East wide open skies. 150miles South and West due to terrain/mountains.
Never know what you might see.
