The new version also includes a finalized version of their ADS-B aircraft tracking plugin. Last month TechMinds tested the ADS-B plugin beta, noting that it worked well, but there were bugs with the built in mapping feature. In the official tutorial video the ADS-B plugin is demonstrated and shows that the mapping problem is fixed.
This week on the Tech Minds YouTube channel Matthew tests out the SDRuno ADS-B aircraft tracking plugin beta. SDRuno is the official software for the SDRplay RSP line of receivers, and the beta can be downloaded from their website (note the plugin will not work for the RTL-SDR).
In the video Tech Minds shows how to set up SDRuno to work on his active ADS-B antenna by activating the bias tee, and how to load and activate the ADS-B plugin. He goes on to show how you can then use another program called Virtual Radar Server to connect to the ADS-B plugin data output, and plot local aircraft on a map.
This package contains a zero-setup Visual Studio 2022 solution with an empty plugin template. An integrated SDR# instance is configured as to host your plugins and is automatically launched by Visual Studio when debugging.
Just a small update after some time:) I have bought an RTL-SDR LNA+triple filter to test whether if it helps the poor chinese dongle to catch some planes. Well it did helped but, according to some research done by the russian folks, the dongle has so many flaws that I will use it only to listen to a local radio:) SDRUnos ADSB plugin decoded some messeges but I never got more than 20 planes even with my coco antenna tuned to 1090MHz. I would recomend to everyone to stay away from this panadapter.
