T-KSBP27 aka VLV-SLO-Pi

I am not an expert in electronics, radio, antennas, Raspberry Pi, aircraft.

• Running since: 19 April 2023

• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5, 8GB RAM

• SDR: NESDR SMArt v5

• Antenna: DPD Productions ADS-B Vertical Outdoor Base Antenna (Standard 1090 MHz ES) (link). It’s the large white antenna on the back of the shed in the photo below.

Previously I had used the antenna that came with the NESDR SMArt v5 (you can see that in the top corner of the shed in the photo below; it’s very small and partly hidden by the oak tree.
