using two dongles - acarsdeco strange behaviour

[tekmanoid]

Has anyone else experienced weird behaviour with acarsdeco and dump1090 running simultaneously on the same linux box (with two RTL dongles of course)

I have re-programmed the EEPROM of the second dongle with a different serial number.

When dump1090 and acarsdeco are running with each dongle I notice that the acars decoder basically stops decoding (may get only occasional hits, although there are lots of acars-squitters)

Thanks for any help!

Is the RPi getting sufficient power for itself plus two DVB-T SDRs?

I am using an old HP Thinclient


Since the dongles draw ~ 150 mA at most each, while the USB specs are 500 mA it just seems strange it should be a power problem...

Sorry, I thought you were using an RPi.

I use an HP Micro Server with 2 ADSB Dongle + 2 für Acarsdeco2 and it works ok. The Server run still on 100%.
