    New setup works, but no planes found

    Hi,
    I prepared my RaspberryPi as documented and attached an old DVB-T antenna just to try out if it works. I can see that my device successfully connected to fr24 and I can see my stats in my fr24 online account. The Raspberry should have a sufficient power supply and the antenna is attached to a USB hub with seperate power supply.

    But the antenna doesn't find any planes (I'm living 100km south of FRA, there is quite some traffic). I guess it is because of the DVB-T antenna but before ordering a new one I'd like to know if there are some settings which could help me out aswell. I already checked thread "FR24feed uploader - Additional Info" but to be honest, I'm not really understanding everything there

    I also tried "sudo systemctl stop/start fr24feed".

    All I know about the DVB-T antenna is "CSL DVB-T Stick Realtek Chip"and it's uhm...well.. black, if that info helps

    My fr24feed software version:
    Code:
    fr24feed:
Installed: 1.0.25-1
Candidate: 1.0.25-1
Version table:
*** 1.0.25-1 500
500 http://repo.feed.flightradar24.com flightradar24/raspberrypi-stable armhf Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
    My config:
    Code:

[/TABLE]
    ​

    I may add that I have no chance to change the settings in the WebUI: the changes are not getting saved here and stay the same.

    This is the protocol I get:
    Code:
    $ sudo systemctl stop fr24feed
 $ sudo fr24feed

    I hope it's just a wrong setting and the solution is a no-brainer for the experts here

    Couple of things.

    That is the old version that doesn't allow saving

    Sudo apt-get update
    Sudo apt-get install fr24feed

    Secondly if you note the dvbt requirements/output messages section you would see your old stick is not the right type :/

    Found Fitipower FC0013 tuner

    Supplemental to information found at https://www.flightradar24.com/build-your-own (spurred from user finding stick information not so forthcomming) If you do not chose to purchase a marketed 'ADSB stick' or USB TV Tuner via the suggested link there are specific requirements to be made aware of before purchasing generic sticks

      I tried wiedehopfs analysis tool:

More than 2 lost samples per million or other errors probably mean the receiver isn't working correctly.
Try another power supply before condemning the receiver though!

      -> So I attached the antenna directly to the raspberry and repeated the test:

          Some sticks suited or even specifically made for ADS-B are listed here:

            Thanks Wiedehopf, I saw your list already. But sadly many of the links point to products which are not available anymore.

            Now I ordered this one:
