Prepare the SD Card
Please refer to the details
on Page 2 of this guide.
After editing the configuration file, eject the SD card from your computer and
insert it into the RPi.
6
Remove the plastic caps from the RTL-SDR dongle (4) and plug it into one of
the USB ports on the RPi.
7
Connect the coax cable (7), the power supply (B) and your local network via a
LAN cable to the RPi. The LAN cable is not included in the OpenSky kit. As soon
as you connect the power cable the device boots automatically (the LED behind
the rear panel (G) should start blinking)
8
Remove the protection cardboard from the bottom of the coolers (C) and (D)
and place them onto the chips of the RaspberryPi (RPi) (A)
Take the RPi (A) and place it onto the bottom part of the case (E). You will
notice that the four screw holes of the RPi will be aligned with the screw holes
in (E). The best way to insert the RPi is to push the 3.5 mm audio jack into the
designated hole in the case (see the
red circle
in the image on the right) and
then push down the RPi, until it sits perfectly.
Gently push the rear panel (G) of the case into position and make sure the SD
card slot is on the bottom (see the
red circle
in the image on the right).
Place the top part of the case (F) onto the RPi and insert the screws (H) through
the holes on the bottom.

Before powering up your receiver for the first time you have to edit the
