ADS-B Aircraft Tracking via Software Defined Radio

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is the standard technology used by aircraft to stream/send their GPS position to other aircraft and ground stations. This is primarily done on the 1090 MHz band. The FAA would like to see aircraft that operate exclusively below 18,000 feet (5,500 m) use the 978 MHz in efforts to alleviate interference in high congestion airports. The setup below will track both 978 and 1090 MHz bands.

For 2 years I had a functional Raspberry Pi 3B+ running PiAware; but the weather got to it one day and it has been down since.
