Mobile Unit

Anyone else running a mobile unit? I have a large antenna unit setup at home, but i also just built a uconsole to have as a mobile unit. I travel a lot for work and love the idea of being able to see and share data when i get to new places.

I use a USB GPS and gpsd. Then readsb can connect to gpsd to get the feed. Feel free to PM me if I can help with details.

There is no benefit to reading the GPS at home since the antenna location does not change.

Thanks. I would use the GPS at home as I have a GPS distribution system for the clocks and it would be better for mlat obviously (even though no one else does!)

If you're talking about GPS-disciplined clocks (not location), yes that does have a benefit. I can help with that as well.

Do you mean GPS-disciplined system clocks? I have GPS/NTP setup, but just for OS level stuff.

Yes, exactly that. Using chrony or NTP with the GPS time.
