Title: Sharing with Windows
Post by: Snoopy on December 29, 2025, 12:43:26 PM
After a two-year break, I have retrieved my puck from a cupboard, dusted it off and started using it again. We moved house from a valley whered I had relatively little reception to an elevated löocation where I have a great unrestricted view through to Milan Malpensa airport and tro the west.

Two years ago, I was sharing on several sites relatively simply using Windows, but now it seems it's almost impossible, and I have to use either Linux or a Pi, neithger of which excites me.

Am I missing something? (Or have I forgotten something as my addled brain ages...). Are there still sites where one can share using Windows?

Welcome back. 

As you've noticed, FlightAware, Planefinder, AirNav and FR24 have all "abandoned" their Windows feeding options.

The alternative is usually a RaspberryPi setup using a suitable ADS-B "dongle".

One can share data with multiple sites from the one RPi setup.

Thanks for the quick reply Anmer. I'll have to think about that...
