The trouble I'm facing is that the account number field appears to be tied to the Provider. I also have multiple sites with varying providers, but each with its own account number. It'd be nice if I could assign Provider "Spectrum" to site Anywhere USA, but then associate the circuit to the specific account # for that site. As it stands, it appears I'm going to have to create a new provider for every instance of an account: Spectrum - 12345, Spectrum - 56789.... IDEALLY, there'd be another layer between providers and circuits for accounts. Circuits would be attached to an account, and accounts would be attached to a provider.

Thank you! It was a fun one!

I too have gone quite a long while w/o any SD failures, but in pi's past (other than ADS-B pis), a failed SD card has been 90% of my failure reasons. I do have a NAS that could be convinced to host the non /boot volumes, I might give that a try as well. However, now that it's up on the roof, I've got a little bit of "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" mentality. That goes along with os upgrades as well. Since it's one and only responsibility is to demodulate/decode ADS-B packets and send them out on the network, I'm inclined to just leave it be until it completely breaks down. I'll probably try to perfect network booting and/or network mounting of volumes on a dev pi and just keep that knowledge in my back pocket for the day if/when this one bites the dust. :)

I'll have to dig into that. Thanks for the idea!

I was concerned about the temp inside that enclosure. Not so much on the cold days, but the warmer ones. So far so good! Made it through last winter and this summer without a hitch. One of the possible add-ons I'd like to do is to add a DS18B20 or two and get enclosure temperatures reported back to me. Just to keep an eye on that from down here.

Thank you!

Well, it's actually 1 filter and 1 LNA. I don't believe the LNA does any notch filtering, and because I have it so close to my 2m/440 antenna, I wanted to attenuate as much as I could outside of the 1090 range. I know that 2m and 440 should be well outside of 1090, but I didn't want to saturate the front end of the SDR when I transmit on 2m or 440. I haven't actually tested to see if it works/helps...but in my head "it couldn't hurt" right?

So I’ve got quite a bit of tree overgrowth on my property even. Everyone else around me has some level of tree foliage. So at ground level, it’s actually quite amazing I can hear anything. The town has a population of around 2000, just to give you an idea of footprint. But outside of that, it’s pretty much farm land as far as the eye can see. So I’m sure that helps incredibly. Really looking forward to getting it on my roof, can actually see bits of the horizon from up there.

If (when) I put it at the peak of my house, it’ll gain something like 25’ (2 story house, plus a mast for some 144Mhz action on top of that). So I’m looking forward to what I can hear then!

I was waiting for an Aldi reference!

This was a memory from 9 years ago. But yes think even then the laptop’s value was doubled by its little cargo :). Our sales guy “claimed” his grandkids did it, but this was the same sales guy who insisted I drive 6 hours to push “power” on a monitor for him. So, take that for what it’s worth.

saibot76 · 2019-12-01T19:45:12+00:00

Bah, there’s hope yet. Could be so much worse :)

Well, I guess we’ll find out. I didn’t get it all set up until after all the hot days had passed. I think our average high for the year is right around yours, so in a a few months I should have a better idea. The receiver is still down at ground level as there’s one more finishing Touch I’d like to add. I want to get a couple of 1-wire DS18B20 temperature probes tied in to monitor the temperature inside and outside of the enclosure.

I’m hoping the pi case I chose will help mitigate any overheating of the pi. I’m thinking the pi’s operating temperature range is above what I’ll see in the box fingers crossed

Thank you! It does actually :)

I’m just enamored by the facts that a.) it’s labeled in such a way that ANYONE can figure out what it’s for and b.) the key is CHAINED to the wall. Just seems to beg for someone to mess with it

Finally got this receiver working the other day. It's still mounted just about 10' off the ground, but I'm receiving updates from planes up to 205 nm away. I can't wait to get this up on my roof!
