    I purchased the hardware and the image Micro SD card from the store here. After setup and when going to adsbexchange.local I show software version 8.1.220226. The current version for download is https://www.adsbexchange.com/myip/downloads/adsbx-8.2.220418.zip

    I try updating using the tool at http://adsbexchange.local/auth but nothing updates. Do I have this incorrect? Does this update only update the feeder tar1090 and not the image of the Pi? If this is true, do I have to wipe out the current image by installing the newest image on the SD card?

    Thanks,

    You can just login and update
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt upgrade

    The update button will update the webinterfaces / the feed client / decoder ... everything of consequence :)
    Updating the whole system can be a bit unpredictable thus it's not done by the webinterface.
