Using RTL-SDR Blog
==================

Best results with rtl-sdr blog:

sudo /usr/local/bin/readsb --device-type rtlsdr \
--gain 42.1 \
--sdr-buffer-size 256 \
--interactive

Using HackRF
============

Tested with HackRF Pro, but barely seen planes:

sudo /usr/local/bin/readsb \
  --device-type hackrf \
  --sdr-buffer-size 256 \
  --hackrf-vgagain 32 \
  --interactive

Using SoapySDR
==============

Plug in your device, and soapysdr will find it:

HackRF or RTLSDR via SoapySDR
=============================

Works similarly well/bad like above:
sudo /usr/local/bin/readsb \
  --device-type soapysdr \
  --gain 40 \
  --interactive

stream output to dump1090 to monitor planes on its map
======================================================

Run dump1090 in net only mode in one console:
dump1090 --net --net-only --interactive

Stream data over to dump1090:
sudo /usr/local/bin/readsb --device-type rtlsdr \
--gain 42.1 \
--sdr-buffer-size 256 \
--net \
--net-connector 127.0.0.1,30001,raw_out
