ADS-B Monitoring

Flight Tracker

We currently have an antenna setup to monitor the ADS-B (1090Mhz) radiowaves for aircraft around Fun Acres.

We share this information to online platforms for tracking and historical purposes. The map below shows all the aircraft our Fun Acres Antenna is currently picking up.

About the Hardware

  • Raspberry Pi 4Gb RAM
  • Hexa Boost 3.6FT Antenna 1090Mhz 8dBi
  • Running Raspberry Pi OS
  • SDR USB Stick — Realtek RTL2832U
  • Dump1090-Mutability — Captures the signal from the Realtek device
  • ADS-B Exchange Feed Client — Takes the feed from Dump1090 and uploads it

So far we are able to pull signals in ~80 miles away. However, that is only good for aircraft above 6,000FT (unless close). Anything lower we are combating against the curve of Earth and the tree line.
