RTL-SDR Dongle

[AirNav Development]

The purpose of the new RadarBox Windows software is to:
- Get data from the new RadarBox Micro RadarBox units.
- Work with the brand new RadarBox ComStation unit which is able of not only getting ADS-B data but also GPS/Audio.
- Enable login/use the software to RadarBox24.com users

It is also capable of working with general Dongles.

Thank you.

For information, it works.
I have not optimized the location of the antenna, but I get the signals of some aircraft. We can already confirm that this dongle "http://rtlsdrblog.rtlsdrblog.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/widesdr2.jpg" is adapted with software version 6.0 Beta Radarbox.

If you need someone to beta test the ComStation with v6, I'm happy to do so as well as testing the RTL-SDR dongle.

Before the end of the week I will test another Dongle SDR-RTL.
The more we can test different Dongle SDR-RTL, the more we will have a list of compatible hardware.

I understand " my English is basic, I am French :-) ", a new SDR-RTL-based hardware will soon be marketing? But will have the opportunity to broadcast radio communications? If this is the case, I'll have to put money aside for a future acquisition.

Me too.

Javaradiofrance, just to confirm it is the comstation that is VHF capable.  If you wish to be considered for one go to Radarbox24.com and complete the form in Increase Coverage.

Alan, just to confirm with the Comstation, are they looking for people who can actually provide the ATC audio feeds as well?  As you know, I have a large amount of scanners and have a Diamond D3000N antenna way up that allows me crystal clear CYYZ communication.

The comstation is equipped with a scanner which picks up the VHF transmissions and streams them back.

I have no ComStation. RadarBox using my dongle or SDR DXPatrol.

Somehow migrating to Win10 Professional has changed the hierarchy of unit detection.

After migrating to Win10 Pro I have this hierachy:

1. MicroRB ([Any] SDR DVB-T Dongle that works with alternative ZADIG Driver can be used, I haven't tested, what happens if ZADIG Driver isn't installed, I have noticed a problem with Ground speed (GS) display)
2. RBCS (Radarbox Comstation, currently buggy bahaviour)
3. RBCL (Radarbox Classic Hardware)

Is there something that need to be done in Radarbox to have the dongle detected?
The dongle is working fine with RTL1090 and plane plotter but for some reason Radarbox don't detect it.

Thanks!

You need V6.00.000 of ANRB Software ( http://www.airnavsystems.com/download/ANRB/ ). Further ANRB Software needs exclusive access to the RTL SDR dongle. If RTL1090 or dump1090 is already running, ANRB.exe won't detect the dongle.

You can also send data from Planeplotter to Airnav via its Options/Sharing/Set Up and tick Secondary Sharing, Enable sharing to Radarbox24.
