Flight tracking @ 1090 MHz
- Powers [FlightAware](https://filghtaware.com)
## Radio
- [[RTLSDR]]s work well out of the box for ADS-B listening
- I use the [Nooelec NESDR Smart V4](https://amzn.to/3pDnwEx) (affiliate link)
## Software
### MacOS
- [[Cocoa1090]]
- Need to run `rtl_tcp` first
- Map view isn't great
- Dump1090 by antirez
- Much better map view, but doesn't work in Brave
- `./dump1090 --interactive --net`
### Raspberry Pi

## Antennas
- [Wine cork antenna](http://antirez.com/news/46)
- The shorter antennas with the RTLSDR work great
