Dump1090 doesn't see my RSP2.

The new version of DUMP1090 is supposed to work with the RSP2 but ut doesn't work here. My RSP2 and a dongle are both plugged in and the software is supposed to see both and ask me for a choice. It sees only the dongle. If I remove the dongle, it doesn't see anything. What am I doing wrong?

Where did you download your version of Dump1090 from? Did you get it from our website? When you refer to it working with a 'dongle' do you mean an RTL dongle? I am a bit surprised that the fork that we created for the RSP will even work with a RTL dongle. Are you certain that you are running the correct version?

Sincerely

I got the software from this website, it's the latest version that works only on the B port. My dongle is the Noolec NESDR smart and it works fine with everything. I ran the install a few times and nothing changes. I'll try moving the subfolder as a backup and doing another install.

I found the problem, it was a subfolder error on my part. Should I run the 2mhz or the 8mhz version for Planeplotter? Thanks for your help. Now, Dump1090 is working but Plane plotter doesn't see anything. What choice should I see and take in the IO options of Plane plotter? I don't see any reference to the RSP2, only to my RTL dongle. At least I can use the dongle.

I'm not sure on what PlanePlotter requires as all of our testing has been with VirtualServerRadar. Beast data appears on port 30005 which is what we use. There are lots of command line options to change the various data modes and what ports they appear on if you need to change it.

In our tests, the 8MHz demod version should see aircraft further away but may not be so good as the 2MHz demod version for close in aircraft. I would say you may need to experiment for your area. The 8MHz version will require more CPU.

Here's what I use for 2MHz mode...

.\sdrplay_dump1090 --dev-sdrplay --interactive --net

(without --dev-sdrplay only the RTL device is seen by dump1090)

Best regards,

Thanks a lot, I'll look into it later today. It should work.

Well you guys were right. Now it's working fine with Planeplotter and Virtual radar using the RSP2. Thanks a lot.

Just received a fine book in the mail. It will help me a lot to figure out the workings of these software.

Where did you get the book?
Please post a short review.

Got the book used from Amazon and it's an older version. It was shipped from the UK to Canada. There is a newer version available but it's expensive. I just started reading it, will come back for a review.
