    Doesn't necessarily mean they added an MLAT client, could be just ADS-B data being fed to adsbexchange.

    The username used for the mlat-client is what you can normally look up here: http://adsbx.org/sync

    Difficult to say something. We don't know how it is programmed on Radarcape side.

    Reconnecting the connection with so low timeout is not a good idea, so great programming from jetvision.

    James will have to check if the incoming data format is correct.
    That may be the reason for instantly getting disconnected.

    Might not be a bad idea to just use the adsbexchange scripts to feed instead of using the builtin stuff: https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange
    Those scripts also include MLAT.

    For the Radarcape you change the settings in /etc/default/adsbexchange like this:
    INPUT="127.0.0.1:10006"
    INPUT_TYPE="radarcape_gps"

    If you take that route you should also turn off the builtin ADSBx feeder.

    Yes, new radarcapes are debian based so it should work.

    Thank @MDA the adsbexchange scripts install will this affect the other Build-in ADS-B Data Feeders?

    It shouldn't affect the rest of the system, but there is no guarantee.

    As such you should be able to recover the system just in case: https://wiki.jetvision.de/wiki/Radarcape:Recovery

    It might better suit you to buy a Raspberry Pi and feed adsbexchange from that.

    Use pi as feeder only, taking data from radarcape. 3B is more than enough.

    Thanks, @MDA so I would use UDP Data Streaming Settings to send to the ADSBX feeder image Raspberry Pi? I appreciate the help

    No, modify adsbx feeder as @wiedehopf described with small mod
    INPUT="<IP of radarcape:10006"
    INPUT_TYPE="radarcape_gps"
