I’ve read this LSTN Handbook before. This handbook is almost useless. With caveats, the information on software setup on pages 64-80 is helpful.
First of all, the book describes examples for the OSX instead of programs for Windows.
Secondly, the book describes a certain receiver, which cannot be called cheap and suitable for self-production. Expensive components, housing, injection power, antenna … I guess this receiver costs about $200 or more.This is an unacceptable price. Therefore, this part of the assembly instructions for the receiver does not make sense to translate since there is no chance that this device will fall into the hands of someone.
My experience with ADSB-receivers says that design will be repeated by other radio amateurs if it is cheap and uses widely available components.
“People’s Receiver” should cost $100 or less.
-
Raspberry Pi 3 ($70)
OrangePi even cheaper, but not supported. -
Power supply ($12)
5.1 Volts 2.5 Amps power supply recommended -
Micro SD Card (size: 8 GB or larger)
-
USB SDR Receiver (RTLSDR RTL2832U + R820T2) ($9)
The USB SDR (Software Defined Radio) - RTL-SDR V3 1PPM TCXO ($29) recommended. -
433 MHz Antenna
homemade antenna, for example QFH.
Additionally
- LNA SPF5189 ($5)
- 433MHz Band Pass Filter ($7)
Total $103.
