New YPPH LiveATC build
Posted: Tue Mar 05, 2019 11:41 am
Hi all,
I'm in the planning stages of a new build for the YPPH feeder server.
Currently I have a single Raspi 3 running 2 x RTL-SDR dongles, each doing 2 feeds. Eg 4 feeds total. Antenna splits 2 ways, with a filter to allow only 117-137MHz into the dongles.
My plan is to have 4 raspis, each running a single stream.
Antenna will pass through a filter, then through a 4 way preamp splitter, then to 4 SDR dongles.
It will be a similar setup to this - https://makezine.com/projects/build-a-c ... i-cluster/
With a 5v powered 5 port network switch, and a powered USB hub, so I will only need 2 x power packs. One for the USB hub, and a 2nd for the Amp.
I will also be changing the location for my feeder in the coming months, as the location where it is currently hosted, the tenant is moving out.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated, in case I have missed something before I go spend $s
