Configure the SDR dongle(s)

1. If not already connected to your Pi with ssh: ssh [e-mail]

2. sudo apt install rtl-sdr -y

3. Plug in the SDR dongle to be used for 1090 MHz.

4. rtl_test -t

5. You should see one device listed.

6. If this is a Nooelec SMArt v5 dongle:

   • rtl_eeprom -i 0

   • When prompted, type y and enter and then wait for completion.

   • You don't need to re-plug the dongle.

7. rtl_eeprom -s 00001090

8. When prompted, type y and enter and then wait for completion.

9. Remove this dongle and label it "1090."

10. If you have only one dongle, you're done with this part. If you have a second dongle for 978 MHz, plug it in now and continue.

11. rtl_test -t

12. You should see one device listed with a serial number that isn't 00001090.
