Help flight radar with a RasPi and SDR

If you do set this up, consider also feeding data to non-commercial aggregators who make their data available for free and do not censor certain flights: https://github.com/rickstaa/awesome-adsb?tab=readme-ov-file#...

It's been a while since I ran a receiver, but back when I did ADSBExchange was pretty popular. It looks like there are a number of other options at the moment though - like ADSB.lol and airplanes.live

Agreed, flightradar24 can stick it. ADSBExchange is still the best option that's not paid off by billionaires so they can hide their private jets.

Dan sold out.

And anecdotally they now censor some things, as I'm seeing much less private jet and helicopter activity than I used to, especially those that have to be triangulated.

That project is now commercial, but it still shows flights and aircraft that many of the other commercial ones do not. I agree though, supporting the non-commercial ones is important too. I should update my own feeder to do more.

They say they'll give you a free premium membership in exchange for this, which I feel like is a fair deal for enthusiasts like myself. That said, see the recommendation from @mwambua elsewhere in this thread that refers to sharing with other, more open platforms!

The bugmen just won't stop feeding these PE rug pulls for free
