run pf client in linux mint 18.3

how to use this client in linux mint 18.3?

#!/bin/bash
#A bash script to start Ted Sluis' dump1090 with optimal flags
cd /home/kucengemok/dump1090
./dump1090 --interactive --net --enable-agc --gain -10 --ppm 53 --phase-enhance --lat 2.xxxxx--lon 101.xxxxxx --oversample --dcfilter--net-ro-port 30002 --net-beast --gain 48.0 --modeac --quiet

#!/bin/bash
#A bash script to start modesdeco2 with optimal flags
cd /home/kucengemok/modesdeco2_x86_64_20170127
./modesdeco2 --location 2.xxxxxxx:101.xxxxx --web 8080 --rbs --beast 30005 --msg 30003 --sbs10001 10001 --avr 30031 --gain 48.0 --agc --filter-ic --metric --localtime --filter-expire 7600 --flight-expire-time 7200 --google-key xxxxxxxxxxxx

so we still need those applications - dump1090 and modescope to run with pfclient?

Isn't Linux Mint a Debian based OS so you can just download and install our .deb Debian package?

 

[kucengemok]

do i need to click pfclient? windows got pfclient.exe..but linux?

 

[Lee Armstrong]

You will need to install the Debian package on Linux Mint. I've never tried this but in theory it should work

if i use dump1090,data for ,mode ac cannot be seen compared if i used modescope...

#!/bin/bash
#A bash script to start Ted Sluis' dump1090 with optimal flags
cd /home/kucengemok/dump1090
./dump1090 --interactive --net --enable-agc --gain -10 --ppm 53 --phase-enhance --lat 2.xxxx --lon 101.xxxx --oversample --dcfilter --net-ro-port 30002 --net-bo-port 30005 --gain 48.0 --fix --modeac --quiet

 

[kucengemok]

run with modescope..

#!/bin/bash
#A bash script to start modesdeco2 with optimal flags
cd /home/kucengemok/modesdeco2_x86_64_20170127
./modesdeco2 --location 2.xxxxx:101.xxxx --web 8080 --rbs --beast 30005 --msg 30003 --sbs10001 10001 --avr 30031 --gain 48.0 --agc --filter-ic --metric --localtime --filter-expire 7600 --flight-expire-time 7200 --google-key xxx

I'm sorry but I do not know enough about either of those pieces of software that connect into our client to tell you the correct switches.

ModeAC though is largely not used for anything so I wouldn't worry about it to be honest!

 

[kucengemok]

so plane finder will only process mode S.....and DF 17 too?

 

[kucengemok]

and pfclient also not standalone version...it needs either dump1090 or modescope to function...

 

[Lee Armstrong]

Correct, for an RTL device we need something to decode it.

We encourage hardware ADS-B receivers as these outperform RTL devices so much more!

We only process ModeS packets, correct. There is very little usable in ModeAC
