The #UAT instructions I followed for #Piaware / #flightaware are here
"This article will show how to create a dual frequency PiAware with 1090 and 978 on one platform."
this uses two SDR devices and two antennas.

Added a 978 MHz #UAT receiver to my #Piaware setup. I had an antenna already and had a spare SDR and turns out also had a spare USB-A to USB-A cable so that everything fits on the PI 3.
On the good side, all software seems to check out, and I'm getting "system is up" readings.
On the bad side for now, there are no low-flying UAT aircraft overhead so it's not easily possible to test.
The configuration is really aimed at U of Michigan football game days when planes tow ad banners, until then ?
PiAware 10 now running on a Pi 3B - did not use the 32bit image, installed the bare bones 64bit OS and pulled from the repository. For some reason my RTL-SDR V4 is not liked so I am using the older V3. I'll dig around tomorrow in the logs to find out why. Probably some driver quirk that's documented and I missed it. Antenna on my desk too, I need to connect it to the one on the roof tomorrow. I'm in the flight path of RDU which is why I'm getting *something*.
So I added another SDR to my #PiAware device for 978kHz, because a few flying machines flew over but I didn't get any info from them, so I assumed they were using the older wavelength, and I've sadly not seen anything yet.
Did a bit of hacking on my #magicmirror dashboard and #homeassistant setup yesterday. Still pretty basic and sorry for the bad pics (took them from an angle and in a dimly lit room), but it now has three pages:
1. default view, just some basic weather info, etc. more to come here
2. my local #piaware view of flights in the area
3. just the clock (playing with this for a nighttime setup)
Last pic is of the HA screen that lets me turn it on/off and change the pages.
