Today i received my parcel from the USA!
b‌ut unfortunately i do not receive any UAT signals.

I saw a post about this antenna:

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B072BMBXMH/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3RORSKO1YA0UV&colid=3GGSQDSNIAKZP&psc=0

Does this one also requires a new USB receiver? or can i just simply screw the antenna on the 978Mhz receiver?

Thanks!

 ist displayed as a resultI am not an antenna expert. I did however use the above 868MHz antenna from Amazon for FLARM with Stratux but when comparing it's performance with the original 978MHz antenna, there was no improvement. In fact the performance was worse ...
‌Maybe the reason is although both antennas look similar, they may be of a different type and what I learned recently is that the original Stratux 978MHz antenna is a "Bazooka" type antenna which does not require a ground plane.
‌As a result, I am using the 978MHz stratus antenna for 868MHz FLARM successfully.
‌And to your question, yes, you simply use the 978Mhz receiver for FLARM.

Did you measure and config the 868 MHz antenna to the SDR? Using the 978 MHz config on a 978 MHz adjusted (?) SDR with a 868 MHz antenna will give a mismatch. The gain on measuring all in new to 868 MHz is low, indeed.

Sorry to bother again..
I‌ don't get it. Yesterday i downloaded a fresh stratux image and installed it to my SD card.
After i got it up and running i followed to following instructions that i found on this forum:

sudo raspi-config

//Long Wait
service stratux start

//Finnish‌‌

A‌fter the stratux start command i got the following notice:
"Warning: Unit file of stratux.service changed on disk, 'systemctl daemon-reload' recommended."

How do i know if i installed it correctly? i cannot find any changes in the software or an extra Flarm button/switch or option..

I also tried to configure my 978Mhz antenna as TouchTheSky mentioned but it keeps saying scanning base stations and nothing happens..

(‌This is my first experiënce with Raspberry so i have got a lot to learn).‌

The latest FLARM version requires go version 1.10. Therefore you need to use the following go commands:

‌‌wget http://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.10.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /root -xzf go1.10.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
‌
‌The antenna ppm configuration is not really important, you should however eeprom the second SDR as follows:
‌rtl_eeprom -d1 -s stx:0
‌This requires to stop stratux beforehand with "stxstop"

‌Ok, that did it, THX!, working now.
‌No FLARM traffic near though, but I'll see.
‌Q: do you have a picture of a FLARM target shown in Traffic@192.168.10.1, how are they recognized?
‌Q: Hardware//Settings@192.168.10.1 now has 978, 1090 and 868 - 978 has to be OFF?
‌Q: Status@192.168.10.1 does not show FLARM?

I've got some activity on Skydemon!
But on flightradar i found a airplane of my flightschool but i was unable to find it on Skydemon. does that have anything to do with the fact i'm now on the ground maybe?
