Title: New feed, need help/suggestions
Post by: Cheesecake on March 18, 2016, 03:19:34 AM

Hello everybody!

I'm planning on setting up a new feed. I'm pretty new to this stuff and I don't really know much about it. I live about 23km away from LSZH. I wanted to know, what kind of scanner/receiver I should use for this. I can't install any antennas outside my house, and I don't have a big budget. My budget is 00USD - 70USD. Do I need a computer with a specific operating system/software to feed everything to LiveATC.net? And how much bandwidth would that use?

Thanks in advance for your help!  :-)

At 23km, depending on terrain, you might not have very good luck with an indoor antenna. It really depends.

Best bet is to contact us via: http://www.liveatc.net/ct/fcontact.php

and we can go over your specifics.

A center feed covering the airspace over lsgg would be nice to have. Good coverage of lszh center already but nothing to the est of the country. I don't know if you can pick up any high aircraft to the west.
