    I recently set up my feeder. In the past I have streamed to FA and FR24, but I just discovered adsbexchange.
    I can't seem to keep my feed up. I have it working to adsbexchange using virtual radar server to rebroadcast the rpi data, but I would rather have it working through the rpi alone.
    I have configured the piaware.config file and it should be streaming to port 53089

    My site is the one near McAllen, TX-KMFE. Any other sites are a couple of hundred miles away, so mine is helping with a large coverage gap...I have a new antenna and a 1090 filter on the way... Can someone help me set this up correctly?
    IN custom feeds you can find my feeder at Harlan-53089

    Hi
    Thanks for feeding.
    What kind of help do you expect?
    Ports in range 53xxx are reserved for VRS compressed data. Do you have VRS installed on Raspberry?

    No, I did not know that. I will try to change the port....I do have VRS on my desktop repeating the data from the RPi and it is not longer showing up and the data under repeater in VRS keeps blinking...

    Try one of free 51xxx ports, it will redirect traffic directly from any kind of dump1090 you use.

    On RaPi directly
    Code:
    sudo nano /home/pi/adsb-exchange/adsbexchange-netcat_maint.sh
    upload_2018-2-13_21-42-17.png
    Change destination port number to 51xxx

    Save changes and reboot your Pi.

    So I did that, and I can see three aircraft tracking via ADS-B on FA, and also on VRS, but these do not show in ADSB Exchange

    BTW do you have ADSBX mlat-client installed on our Pi?

    Not really, on your pi local address is 127.0.0.1 (or your feeder is in remote location), remote should be feed.adsbexchange.com
    Modify your file according to what I posted (with proper remote port number), it should work.

    I don't see mlat-client running, please install again:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get -y update
    sudo apt-get -y install git
    git clone https://github.com/jprochazka/adsb-exchange.git
    cd adsb-exchange
    chmod +x setup.sh
    sudo ./setup.sh
    cd ..

    This can be bug in image, reinstallation of mlat client should solve this problem.
