Thanks Dave and a Merry Xmas to all!

On these I've been doing "split stereo to mono" in audacity on the archive mp3.

Happy Holidays to you too - Cheers!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season to all. Thanks for your support of the LiveATC network. Much more to come!

yeah, I had to chuckle a bit after hearing "kinda" too.
CLT is a funky layout, I usually have to pull left/right seperately, then merge the stereo into Mono to make is sound airable.

Merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/Festivus....think that covers them all :)
thanks for all the DCA stuff too !

Got it, thanks. I did a bit of quick searching, didn't realize the price jumps up quite a bit for those models. I'll have to run it by the others in the club to see if they would approve to spend that much.

In the meantime, if we went back to just 1 frequency stream, the CTAF, what would be the best setup? For reference, the scanner we have on site is a Uniden BC365CRS. Not sure if thats of use at all, or if a direct connection to a SDR is the best option. And yes we're on site at the airport so quality of signal is great.

For this I would recommend a HydraSDR or AirSpy R2 and a Raspberry Pi 4B. That is, assuming you are on airport. Don't use RTL-SDR style dongles on-airport. You can, but you will have to set the gain at a fixed value (and low) to avoid signal overload.That will reduce your signal reception range. And you would need 2 of those RTL dongles to cover those two frequencies, since they are not close enough to feed from a single RTL SDR.

Hope this helps. When you are getting closer to install open a ticket with us and we can guide you through the process of setting things up.

Thanks Dave. To begin, I'd like to do the CTAF and AWOS ... airport is KBVU. I haven't tested what other local frequencies I can receive using the roof-mounted antenna, just yet ... I know KLAS is totally covered, so perhaps a few of the local LA Center frequencies, but again, not sure what I can receive just yet.

What would be the best setup for the AWOS and CTAF?

You can absolutely use an SDR. But whether a single SDR can do what you want depends on the exact frequencies. What airport is it and what are the frequencies of interest?

I am on the board of directors for a flying club, and we took over a clubhouse that had a large roof mounted antenna with associated wiring. I bought a cheap Uniden scanner radio to hook up to the radio so we could have the CTAF broadcast inside the clubhouse.

I'm interested in feeding the CTAF, AWOS and any other channels I can get using the large, roof mounted antenna but have limited experience. I'm willing to spend a bit of money to get it set up, including a small 24/7 computer to feed to LiveATC. I did a quick search in here but am a little confused on what I need to get this started?

To be clear, I don't want it scanning channels ... I'd like to have separate, dedicated channels fed to LiveATC. I read I can simply use an SDR?

Can someone explain how I can get this going?

Charlotte NC - Monday 12/22/25 22:06Z (5:06pm local)...

EDV4827 CRJ-700 reg N641CA from CLT to ATL departs Rwy 36C @ 22:06Z, circled at 6-7000ft and returned to field back on Rwy 36C @ 22:35Z.  Not much to go on with the frequency coverage but a comment is made about #2 Engine.  Comments when ready for return to CLT - "kinda like to declare an emergency I guess... we just want to have the trucks make sure everything's alright for us to taxi".  68 souls and 6200lb of fuel onboard ("at this altitude... about 2 hours")

The flight later left for ATL at 9:30pm local with a different equipment, reg N907XJ.

Tower 126.4 for 36C doesn't have LiveATC coverage and couldn't find anything for departure.

Attached edited for time and content, not realtime - from KCLT Approach (Arrival) feed which is stereo with 2 frequencies this was on the right channel but I don't know which frequency it is
Charlotte Approach (Arrival)   132.700
Charlotte Approach (Arrival/NW)   125.350
