UAT978 feed - http://172.112.231.64:8978/ There are only a few planes flying around during the day (blue entries), none at night, and a ton of TIS-B data (yellow entries).
Both feeds are going into a single Raspberry Pi. Instructions on the Flightaware site for how to assign an address to each dongle and tell the software which one to use for which frequency. The Flightaware Pro (orange) stick feeds 978, the Pro Plus (blue) stick feeds 1090. They are way better than my original generic stick. Needed to get USB extension cables to allow the bulky dongles to connect to the two USB ports on the Pi. Side benefit of that is it moves the dongles 10 feet closer to the antennas, so I can use shorter coax.
Just need to put up my 978 antenna outside and run proper 50-ohm cable from both antennas to the receivers and I'll be about maxed out. Then I'll turn my attention to a marine traffic feeder.
