    If you downloaded 3.6.3 it wasn't from ADSBx site. That would have been from FlightAware, which means ADSBx isn't installed.?

    if you did

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install git
    git clone https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange.git
    cd adsb-exchange
    chmod +x setup.sh
    sudo ./setup.sh
    
    from

    https://adsbexchange.com/how-to-feed/

    Only 3.5.3 is available on ADSBx.

    If you don't know what you did then I can't really know what is wrong.

    So if I download this on sd card it should work even if the flightaware is 3.6.3
    We have a new Raspberry Pi “image” available based on piAware 3.5.3 available here:

    https://www.adsbexchange.com/piaware-image/

    New Features:

    • Based on the piAware 3.5.3 image with some additions.
    • All necessary customization for using Wifi and ADSBexchange “Custom Feeds” features are available simply by editing the piaware-config.txt file when mounting the image on your desktop computer.
    • Add a second SDR dongle, and receive 978 Mhz as well.

    FA 3.6.3 can run paralell with ADSBx mlat-client if upgraded. New images from FA probably are without rc.local service. If rc.local is not installed just install it and re-run ADSBx mlat-client setup.

    I'm testing 3.6.3 today.

    They are disk images, so you will download that 3.5.3 and install it over what is on the SD card.

    Let's hold it, otherwise will not be clear.
    @vtec23
    Did you download and burn latest FA 3.6.3 image?
