Connect 2 dongles or 2 PI's? #57

jeffreypkelly commented 4 years ago

Since some of the satellites are on 137 and others are on 435, I would like to use two antennas. Can I connect two rtlsdr dongles - one for 137 and one for 435? Or should I run two PI systems and just check the 137 satellites on one pi and the 435 satellites on the other pi?

Better run 2 pi. This will organically double the CPU power + 2 schedulers can track 2 satellites concurrently.
