    So I am having trouble getting wifi working (I already tried setting wifi country code to no avail).
    Did I read in one of the posts that the SSID cannot contain any spaces?
    Also, can't I use a wired connection and forget about wifi?

    Also do I need to use flightaware site to c-l-a-i.m my receiver? (step 8 and beyond as explained at the page on this site for "setup-instructions-for-rpi-kits")
    If so, can this be done before I connect antenna or should it first be live on air and receiving? (I am awaiting receipt of my antenna and coax cable still.)

    I am using an image that James linked for me:
    ADSBx Image: (on this domain add...: ) downloads/adsbx-v1.28vlan.zip (can't put in full URL since that blocks posting!)

    The reference to having to "claim" the receiver is here (steps 8 and beyond):
    (on this domain add...: ) /how-to-feed/setup-instructions-for-rpi-kits/ (can't put in full URL since that blocks posting!)

    I was also using some info here:
    (on this domain add...: ) /forum/threads/pi-rookie-confused.626577/ (can't put in full URL since that blocks posting!)

    (By the way, also wondering units for altitude: I assume that's metres, correct?)
