    Your video was the first one I understood. Great job!!! I listened to several other videos on SDR Trunk and either they buzzed right through it or were so slow that it put me nearly to sleep. I liked how you explained each step, and more importantly, how you went back and repeated its function several times throughout the video. Thanks!

    Great tutorial, can’t wait to get this set up. Quick question, does changing the serial number of the SDRs affect being able to use them for ADS-B?

    • @TechDadAdventures
      @TechDadAdventures Год назад

      I'm not familiar with ADS-B so i can't answer with certainty. However, you can revert the SDRs back to factory settings using the same tool used to change the serial numbers. So far, after changing the serial numbers on my SDR devices i have still been able to use them with all the other softwares (that i use with SDR) with no issues. Hopefully this helps answer your question.

      Are you talking about scanning analog through SDR Trunk? I do know that once you assign an SDR to the SDR Trunk software i don't think you can share that said SDR with another software at the same time.

    • @TechDadAdventures
      @TechDadAdventures Год назад

      Yes, you can. However the amount of channels it can hear and switch to will be limited to i think a 3K range from the control channel you are monitoring if i remember correctly. However adding a second one at anytime is an option and it will give you the ability to get further away from the control channel in the event there are other channels further then 3k away. Hopefully i explained this correctly.
