    Flashing SD card is for lazy guys ;). Bake your own Pi, with everything you need. More fun.

    Yeah I know :) only reason I'd even do that is to keep from messing it up. I guess it's about time I catch up with the times and get to learning PI ...lol

    lol...i cant even get ntp to install...keeps saying please wait...trying to start and then it says 'it looks like starting the service was not successful..please check event log'...it happens during the install process so i looked online and found this tutorial https://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/setup.html#domains and it still wont go in...win 10 64 bit. I also went thru the start menu to start it and it 'trying to start NTP service:
    system error 5 has occurred
    access is denied

    I installed as Admin and ran the program as Admin also

    Thanks MDA...i ended up using a program i use on my win xp cal dimension 4 which is a time program also and i have it set to update every 10 minutes. I use that on xp for downloading NOAA sat images and the time has to be correct in order to do that also. I may get a PI so what would u suggest..PI2 or the newer 3???

    Newest 3B+, it works without any problems (dual band WiFi, BT4.2 and more...).

    id like to be able to do a setup that looks like the one under 'how to feed'
    ADSBexchange.com Custom Feeder...the dashboard on that looks good..but me being new to raspberry, itll probably take a lot of trial and error to get it right

    If you want to use latest ADSBx image with Grafana dashboard ask James for most current link.

    And don't save money on cheap SD card, buy good one from Toshiba, San Disk, Samsung etc.
    IMO most interesting setup is now adsb-receiver from Joe Prochazka (search Github). But mlat client should be installed as described in how to feed section.

    lol...thanks for the link...im sure itll take me a while to figure out a pi..i dont know what raspbian or debian or grafana is...im such a noob to a pi like how to configure it without having a screen/monitor on it or working on it from a remote location if i put it in my attic near the antenna...i dont want to have to go into the attic to bring it down every time something goes wrong with it just to hook a keyboard, mouse and screen to it. Ill figure it out im sure if i read up on it

    it's 10 times easier to setup and manage than windows. all you need to do is edit 8 lines in a text file and it just works.

    What code do I use to feed MLAT data to ADSB without affecting my feed to 360radar in the UK?

    Probably 360radar is using same mlat-client as ADSBx.
    Can you run htop and post mlat-client call with all parameters?

    I haven't a clue what to do to be honest I'm not expert at this at all

    Are you feeding from Pi or Windows?

    SSH to Pi and run
    Code:
    sudo htop
