# If more than one RTLSDR is in use, multiple [sdr_X] sections must be populated below

# Then set the device_idx below to 00000002, and repeat for the other [sdr_n] sections below

# Example only_scan for these sondes: [1676.0, 1678.0, 1680.0, 1682.0]
# In these areas I suggest using the only_scan feature below instead of using the peak-detect search.
# You may also need to apply a small offset to the frequency for decoding reliability (i.e. 1676.025 MHz) as
# the sondes are often off-frequency. For now, check in something like GQRX to get an idea of what offset is required.

# Settings for uploading to radiosondy.info
#
# IMPORTANT APRS NOTE
#
# As of auto_rx version 1.5.10, we are limiting APRS output to only radiosondy.info,
# and only on the non-forwarding port.
# This decision was not made lightly, and is a result of the considerable amount of
# non-amateur traffic that radiosonde flights are causing within the APRS-IS network.
# Until some form of common format can be agreed to amongst the developers of *all*
# radiosonde tracking software to enable radiosonde telemetry to be de-duped,
# I have decided to help reduce the impact on the wider APRS-IS network by restricting
# the allowed servers and ports.
# If you are using another APRS-IS server that *does not* forward to the wider APRS-IS
# network and want it allowed, then please raise an issue at
# https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/issues
#
# You are of course free to fork and modify this codebase as you wish, but please be aware
# that this goes against the wishes of the radiosonde_auto_rx developers to not be part
# of the bigger problem of APRS-IS congestion.
# As of 2022-03-01, radiosonde traffic has been filtered from aprs.fi, so even if you do
# modify the code, you still won't see sondes on that map.
# APRS-IS is a *shared resource*, intended for the use of all amateur radio operators, and
# for many years we have been treating it as a playground to dump large amounts of non-amateur
# traffic into, so we can see weather balloons on a map.
# Instead of congesting this shared resource with this non-amateur traffic, we should instead
# be moving to using databases and sites specialised for this purpose, for example sondehub.org
