You can put into the usb once you got that device. See my device below.
and check if the usb antenna is detected.
user@localhost:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:2838 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL2838 DVB-T
Now, remove this device from usb port and add this into the modprobe blacklist.
user@localhost:~$ tail -1 /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
then remove any existing module using this command or you can reboot pc.
$ sudo rmmod dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
Next install this packages, you can use apt-get for this.
- rtl-sdr
- librtlsdr-dev
- libusb-dev
- libusb-1.0-0-dev
Once install these packages, git clone dump1090 project. Then change to dump1090 directory and try to compile using make. If you encounter any library not found, just install it using command apt-get as shown above.
Once the codes are compile, you should be able to use this device using the command,
$ ./dump1090 --interactive --net
and then check your browser on port localhost:8080 . Wait for a while, I hope it scan some planes over your head.
