AeroPager

How to become feeder?

At the moment, AeroPager only supports broadcasting through devices compatible with the dump1090 utility (RTLSDR, etc) on operating systems of the Debian family of x86_64 or ARM32/ARM64 architectures (Debian, Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS, Orange Pi OS, etc).

First of all, you need to register with the service, and then activate your account via email.

If you are new to broadcasting, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the operating principle of ADS-B. You need to purchase an RTL SDR device, as well as a 1090 megahertz antenna.
The antenna must be installed at the most accessible high point, with maximum visibility (that is, without blocking by houses, trees, etc.). Please note that the maximum cable length from the antenna to the receiver should not exceed 10 meters.

If you already have dump1090 installed, then skip the next step and proceed to Installing AeroPager Feeder.

Installing dump1090

apt-get update

                            wget
                            https://ru.flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/f/flightaware-apt-repository/flightaware-apt-repository_1.2_all.deb

                            sudo dpkg -i flightaware-apt-repository_1.2_all.deb

                            sudo apt -y update

                            sudo apt -y install dump1090-fa

                            sudo reboot

Then check installation via view1090-fa. You should see a table with a list of aircraft flying nearby, depending on the intensity of traffic.

Press the "New Receiver" button and fill in all the data according to the prompts.

After clicking on “Save” you will see a table in which the created receiver will appear. At the end of the next step, you will need a key opposite the created receiver.

What benefits does this provide?

The project’s policy is that all data sent by volunteers is also published free of charge for everyone. According to the authors of the project, charging for premium access in order to see data such as the transponder code, speeds, and other things that the service receives from enthusiasts is wrong.

Now the project is at an early stage of development, and in the future premium accounts with expanded functionality (such as search, no advertising, etc.) are possible. In this case, absolutely all broadcasters will have the maximum level of access.
