Fantastic information from ALL. Thank you. I have tow issues, probably with the virtual radar setup, (1) defaults to Europe and have to drag map over to U.S. and (2) aircraft are nor being displayed on the map.

Thanks to ALL. I've got it working, sort of. Probably needs tweaking though.

I just did not realize that it would work without the SDRPlay being turned ON.

Thanks again. I am starting to get the idea that maybe SDRPlay is not needed? How else would a receive a 1090 MHz signal? I had the impression that SDRPlay with whatever software for it; 1090 dump and Virtual Radar were the ingredients needed. I thought 1090 Dump was written to work with SDRPlay. Wh...

Thank you Wolfgang. Why would I not need to know the modulation mode? I'm using SDRPlay to receive and SDRConsole software. It has to be set on some mode. So, you are saying that the ADS-B signal is coming from the plane, not a satellite? My discone is above rooftop; therefore Omni directional. Beat...

Thank you for reply. Are you saying the signals come DIRECTLY (line of sight) from the aircraft and NOT a satellite? I am not clear on your reply. Line of sight to WHAT? Assume it is AM modulation. I am about 50 miles south of the DFW airport which is fourth largest airport in world. I would expect ...

I guess that I am not doing something right or do not fully understanding ADS-B. It is my understanding that the aircraft transmit an ADS-B signal and a satellite rebroadcasts on 1090 or 978 MHz which may be received, decoded and displayed with Virtual Radar software. My questions are: 1) Is this si...

NOW, I have another problem. After using the VAC and setting the Soundcard back to SPEAKERS, it is supposed to automatically switch to HEADPHONES if I plug them in. It does not and remains on SPEAKERS only, no audio in phones.

Rebooting machine does not help. FRUSTRATING.

Thank you SASAN. I think that I have it connected as I did receive audio in MultiPSK. Now, I have to figure what digital signal that I am receiving, how to configure & run MultiPSK. Thank you for help. I really do not like those videos where it show lightning fast depictions of one computer screen a...

Thank you DF1KZ for your input. I would think that the 5v would always be present on the USB port, regardless of the software being on or off. However, I may be wrong.

Gentlemen, I feel embarrassed to ask this question, but I need help connecting VAC from my SDRPlay software to MultiPSK software. I have over many many years connected external radios to a computer using the Line In port without difficulty. In fact, I am running an external dedicated weather APT rec...
