    It's just making sure you have a working dump1090 then installing each feeder client for each site.

    The dangerous ones are FR24 and FA, they like to install their versions of dump1090, then take over control.

    ADSBhub is nothing special.
    Planefinder is nothing special - that I know of.
    OpenSkyNetwork, I wouldn't feed them until they are honest about being a commercial data vendor and taking payment to block aircraft.
    Never heard of EA-Radar.

    I quickly wrote down the systemd service files i use to start mlat-client, i like the integration in the systemd journal and restart/stop functionality.

    https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki/wiki/systemd-service-for-mlat-client

    It's easy enough to run a second service, just name the files mlat2 instead of mlat1 and replace every occurence of mlat1 with mlat2.
    (Don't miss any occurences :) )

    Also i'm sure you are aware the beast data from the FlightFeeder and your local dongle can't be used by the same mlat-client as the timebase is different.
    But you are synced in zone 4-A, so i assume you know that.

    At first i took piaware raspbian image, then setup one feeder after the other. setup graphs1090 and combine1090 for injection of data from the additional flightfeeder. as they all based on dump1090 that works...
    I started with a small spider antenna, but build own 8x CoCo antenna and ordered preamp (moonraker M-100) and filter as soon as possible.
    Now range is about 200 nm... with my location even more is only possible at a lot of costs (longer pole etc).

    Actual main project is setting up FLARM reciever with a 2np Pi at 868 MHz for feeding OGN... there the range is not optimal yet. Have to build another antenna therefor...

    @wiedehopf from the beast i took only the raw data, not the mlat due exact that reason. mlat is done only with the data from the stick (excepf FA, there the Beast has its own Feeder ID and is feeding direct to their server without the combine trick)

    Blocking in the manner that there is nothing on the screen is not a good way i think. Maybe show only the Height and no callsign/reg/etc. ... but show it.

    I am just searching for a prog like dump978 but for the 868 MHz FLARM decoding. In this range i only found the OGN solution which is not really compatible with dumpxx

    But here back to topic, @James can you give the instructions what i have to do for additional feeding in Area 5 ?
