Re: Warflying with Kismet
Outdoor antennae on a plane present a pretty good windload (area x windspeed). Aside from the cool DIY factor, cantennas often aren't very good antenna, they are often the wrong size (it seems I read somewhere that Dinty Moore Beef Stew cans are much better than Pringles, wavelength-wise). It would ...

Re: Getting kismet to work with speech
Your config at a glance looks good. Speech is off on the server and drone, and on in the UI. Does sound otherwise work on this machine, not muted, etc?

Re: Warflying with Kismet
You are incorrect, sir. The actual antenna is a dipole at the end of the stick. Fleshy material in the path of the reflector is a small percentage. It does not block the focal point but a tiny bit.That might have worked better if your hand was not blocking a good portion of the antenna!
Original pics are in the first sentence of the first post, I still am waiting for pics of the last fly from the pilot. There's not many pics of gear this time. Antennas were handheld both times, second time was much more convenient. Don't do this with Netstumbler, it transmits. The first time I held...
bump.. well, two years later, I got go to warflying again. Same pilot, a slighly newer Cessna 172 (this one was a 1971) and a smaller antenna. The first trip I used a parabolic antenna handheld (only do this with Kismet, because it does not transmit). This trip I used a little 5.5 DB magmount. The p...
WB micksam7. Two posts in thre years? You're going to have to try to keep that down a bit, you're spending too much time here....... j/k I have been using an old Panasonic Toughbook CF-28. I'm preparing to mount jacks on the side of it as well. The run internally from the mini-PCI to the jack locati...
I am unfortunate (for wardriving), in that I live in the country, ten miles away from the nearest Pepsi machine (and that's a town of 200). I commute 15 minutes to a town of 50k. I am fortunate however (for life in general), that I love living in the country, and I can see only three other houses. I...

Re: What RS232/serial to USB adapter to get?
When I used a Garmin serial GPS, I tried a generic RS232/USB adapter, and it worked fine. In the software, I had to point it to /dev/usb0 instead of /dev/ttyS0. On the serial GPS itself, I did the same as littledave: I have and did use my eTrex Legend, go to the setup/interface and tell it to NMEA i...

Re: Plotting my rise on WiGLE
I hope to catch most of the ones I missed GPS lock on this morning on my way home, and will probably pick up a bunch more. I had pretty consistent problems with losing GPS lock while driving for years. Over 6 years, I had about 13,000 APs with no GPS. I went to a USB GPS instead of serial and have ...

Search the forum here for Netstumbler and Google, there are several programs/sites that will put Netstumbler points on maps. I don't know about drawing range circles with Netstumbler, I've never used it. If you are willing to learn about Linux a little, Kismet includes a program called Gpsmap that w...
I'm not personally familiar with R/C stuff, but it seems that some of the car/truck ones I have seen would probably take the extra weight better than anything that flies. A helicopter would indeed be better for warflying, because just hovering up high in a populated area would be better than flying ...
I have good luck with these as well. I have two of them, they work well in Linux.I am a fan of the USGlobalSat BU-353.
