OGN-R PilotAware / Enabling bias tee option for FLARM reception

« on: June 28, 2018, 01:00:58 pm »

I have recently purchased an RTL-SDR blog V3 dongle as well as an Uputronics filtered preamp to improve my FLARM reception. The RTL SDR V3 dongle has a built in bias tee which can be used to power the Uputronics preamp - I believe it can be enabled via the pi. I see many people are using this setup, judging by the OGN google group. I am wondering how would I enable this bias tee option within the PilotAware image. I am running on a raspberry pi 2 and version 20180428.

OGN-R PilotAware / Crimp tool

« on: January 20, 2018, 10:14:53 pm »

Hi,

I am currently in the process of following the install instructions to create an antenna enclosure for the OGN-R station at Berwick-upon-Tweed, so the antenna can be mounted outside. I have a 10m length RG-8X coax cable and some SMA connectors. I am wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to where I can purchase an appropriate crimp tool to attach the SMA connectors to the ends of the RG-8X cable.

Thanks
