    Well it wasn't a command, you click the link and find the command there, including some information.

    Quick update. Without the help of any wine today :) I started again from scratch and it all went well. Now feeding FA, FR24 and ADSBx.
    Thanks, @wiedehopf for the info about changing the FR24 setup from dvb-t to Beast which was mucking things up. (attached a screenshot in case it helps anyone else). upload_2019-8-10_17-0-36.png I'd also not helped things by putting altitude in metres instead of feet (doh). The other idiot move I did when installing ADSBx was to paste all the commands into Kitty SSH at once, "sudo apt install git socat" asks a question at the end so the next line which was pasted answered it wrong (if that makes sense). I should know better than that (25 years using telnet in my day job).
    Next on the list is to move the Aerial outside, but the Lake District weather hasn't made that look easy today. Still getting up to 100 Mile range propped up against the window though.

    Many thanks to all for putting up with a (rather tipsy) newbie last night, really appreciated all the replies.

    It seemed like a funny thing to do at the time (after a drink) but now looks stupid. I did know it was a link, sorry.

    "Enter your recievers altitude in meters > 0m (optional suffix m for meters or ft for feet)."

    If you don't put any units behind it, it will assume meters.
    That is altitude above sea level by the way.

    What kind of antenna are you using?

    The FR24 setup wanted it in feet (I think, or was that FA) I've had a few goes to set it all up since the aerial arrived on Tuesday and I started with the FR24 image but struggled to combine it with ADSBx and FA. it's an SCO-1090-MCX from Jetvision. All good now.

    I thought it was all working as .../my_ip shows upload_2019-8-12_17-18-35.png , but I don't see myself listed on the feeder statistics page.
    I've done some digging and tried running the contents of adsbexchange-mlat_maint.sh and got the following:

    Code:
    [email protected]:~/adsb-exchange $ /usr/bin/mlat-client --input-type dump1090 --input-connect localhost:30005 --lat 54.67536 --lon -3.20212 --alt 90 --user MikeD --server feed.adsbexchange.com:31090 --no-udp --results beast,connect,localhost:30104

    FlightAware and FR24 tell me I'm feeding them fine. I'd like to feed ADSBx as the coverage map shows a bit of a hole where I am (UK, North Cumbria) unless there are others feeding with privacy set. I'm quite sure It's something I've done wrong but still need a bit of help figuring it out. My day job involves working with OS-9 (really old real-time OS, nothing to do with Apple) and although it's similar to unix everything is just a bit different.

    It's UK mlat slice, you can't do anything more. Feed to 30005 looks stable, mlat client is disconnecting and reconnecting.
    Keep feeding, don't change anything.

    Mine is doing the same sometimes it’s on then it’s gone I just leave it now to do its own thing.
