Hi Chris,

Awesome ! Nice job, thanks for setting it up and letting us know about it !

These SDR setups that allow multiple users to tune different frequencies simultaneously are great. Hopefully we will see more of these in the future. I wonder if LiveATC would ever be interested in setting something like this up in North America or other parts of the World ? I would be willing to donate to help out.

You are welcome. As i said...early days yet. Lots more freqs to come. Im just waiting for more parts to arrive. Setting up and building the server was a major pain in the ass. Hopefully it will be plain sailing from here.

Hi Chris:

looks good! I notice the waterfall displays are pretty dark here, hard to see signals on the waterfall, wonder if there is a setting that needs to be changed? Thanks for doing the feed!

Hi Scott. The waterfall gain has been set to -45db as the correlation between the signal meter and the waterfall were out of sync. Also I'm using a gigabit switch in the server room which makes for some pretty psychedelic shapes across the waterfall so darkening it takes this away somewhat. It in no way affects the signal. Weak signals still show up (at least on my monitors) Hope you enjoy listening!

Chris.
