Not 100% VATSIM related, but i've been looking into getting a Rasberry Pi ADS-B receiver and using it with EuroScope using the proxy server connection.

Anyone know any receiver kits that work with EuroScope?

 

Cheers,

I would recommend a cheap RTL-SDR-receiver and the dump1090 software (https://github.com/antirez/dump1090). Dump1090 can output data in the SBS-1 format, which SBStoFSDproxy (see Thimo's link) can connect to.

Sorry for the late reply.

 

This should work:

- http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-Digital-DVB-T-SDR-DAB-FM-HDTV-TV-Tuner-Receiver-Stick-RTL2832U-R820T2-A-/311491542276?hash=item488657bd04:g:dVYAAOSwAKxWUuVN

The included antenna is very bad though. I recommend looking for one that is specifically made for 1090 MHz. Make sure you have the correct adapters to fit the antenna input.

 

You can also consider the ones from flightaware (mostly the same hardware as the one I linked to above):

- With filter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/371774565983?rmvSB=true

- Without filter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FlightAware-Pro-Stick-USB-ADS-B-Receiver-from-FlightAware-/141939914825?hash=item210c473849:g:dDkAAOSwwpdW9VjG

 

All tree should work with the Pi and dump1090.
