    Hi James,

    I am trying to get data fed in. Running a Beagle Black Bone with Raspbian OS and a Radarbox Flightstick as SDR. I managed to install the ADSBExchange Feeder and set it up correctly. Under the /sync website I can see my station (MRPV-Unfiltered) but it sometimes shows peers, then it doesn't so I am unsure if it is working properly. Can you give it a check and see what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks,
    Tomas.

    Which region?

    Have you used exact coordinates (5 decimal digits just to be on the safe side and the altitude in meters or as 234ft so with the ft behind the number)?

    Which region is your feeder in? http://adsbx.org/sync/

    Let's check your settings, feel free to change some number in the coordinates:
    The settings can be shown with this command:

    cat /etc/default/adsbexchange

    Its in region 2B and I did set exact coords and altitude but did not put the "ft" at the end. I will add it and see.

    Well you also need some range.

    Probably bad antenna or bad antenna position.

    Maybe drop in at the discord server: https://discord.gg/VfWEAV
    Sometimes a bit quicker to discuss such stuff.

    Range. Peers aren't constant - only shows peers that are currently contributing to each other's MLAT.
