ASD-B Summary and Critical Links
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is a surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked. I have setup a local receiver that feeds several services. I started with Flightradar24 but have expanded to include others. In exchange for feeding the aggregation sites I receive complementary subscriptions to their services.
The critical links are found here:

This section describes the steps necessary to build and configure the ADS-B environment in Chico:
The Chico Micro Feeder is in a case with a power management board. The setup instructions are here:
Lake Almanor-KSVE7
The Lake Almanor system is intended to be installed outdoors along with an Indi-Allsky SkyCam. This will also improve reception over using an indoor antenna.
The golden SD card has this configured as the default.
