    New UAT feeder

    Hi everyone,

    We have released a 2-in-1 feeder starting version 1.0.46* onwards. This contains both ADS-B 1090 MHz and UAT 978 MHz. The previous beta version of the UAT feeder is now deprecated, if anyone is still using that, I would highly recommend you upgrade to the newer version.

    You can take a look at the article below on how to set up UAT using the new feeder.

    How to share UAT data with Flightradar24
    https://support.fr24.com/support/solutions/articles/3000123925-how-to-share-uat-data-north-america-only-
    UAT tracking is currently only available in the US. If you are outside of North America, do not sign up for UAT You need a separate sharing key for UAT. Do not use ADS-B 1090 sharing key. UAT web interface available at: http://IP-of-pi:87...

    Upgraded to 1.0.46 and disabled uat_reader. But status page is showing disconnected and the statistics page shows the 978 feed as offline. Logs show "Could not connect feed! (result -1, fd -1)." Did I miss something in the configuration?

      Thank yo Khan
      I purged the depricated uat_reader, and installed new 2-in-1 feeder ver 46-1, and configured both 1090 & 978 feeds.

      Toronto has very few UAT flights. In summer 1~3 flights a day and in winder snowfall months 3~ 5 per week. Some days there are no uat flights at all.

      Since installing 2-in1 a couple of hours age, there have neen no flights. The fr24uat-feed ran for while, connected to Flightradar24 servers, then due to lack of flights, disconnected itself from Flightradar24 servers.

        I tried to enable the UAT feed today using 1.0.46-1, but it is stuck trying to connect to 185.218.24.53 - this host seems unresponsive, can't ping it from anywhere

        Is it down temporarily, or is there something wrong with my configuration ?

            Looks like the host is now up and the feed is connected. Just happened to have a helicopter flying nearby with UAT on, even though it's midnight - looks like data is being sent up by the feeder (although not showing up on the stats page yet)

              Should be working again. Server side issue.

                  hi Khan -- could you post an example /etc/fr24uat-feed.ini for the following situation:
                  • I am receiving UAT signals currently using FA's dump978-fa receiver
                  • There, I have the data available using their "special" RAW format on port 30978 and in JSON at port 30979
                  • Note that the dump978-fa instance is running on a different machine - how do I specify the hostname or IP address of that machine?
                  I'd love to feed UAT also to FR24 (and I have a station with great ground coverage around KBOS), but I can't swap out dump978-fa for your native receiver.
                  (I am already feeding ADSB to FR24 - so I have an existing fr24key, etc.)

                  Let me know, thanks!

                    I have just now configured it as follows.

                    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/fr24uat-feed.ini
                    receiver="uat-tcp"
                    fr24key="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
                    uat-port="30978"
                    uat-host="10.0.0.23"

                    NOTE: 10.0.0.23 is Local IP address of other machine running dump978-fa

                    The parameter "uat-host" is my guess. I live in Toronto Ontario, Canada (CYYZ). Here the UAT traffic is only occasional (0 to 3 uat aircraft a day). Waiting for some uat aircraft to be picked by other machine, and will check logs of this machine to see if my guess was ok or not.

                      Thanks, I actually got it to run with that!
                      Interestingly, I came across three more issues.
                      • When I installed fr24feed in a separate VM machine, signup with “/usr/bin/fr24feed --signup --uat --configfile=/etc/fr24uat-feed.txt​“ works fine
                      • On my target machine, for signup only, I’m getting the error below. Looks like an issue with SSL certificates? I’m running Debian Bookworm and all packages are up to date (including ca-certificates, I double-checked)
                      • Also, there appears to be a limit of 3 feeders per account. ADSB and UAT count as separate feeders. I have 2 stations (locations) with both ADSB and UAT, so i can feed only 3 of the 4 instances without contacting support. Sounds like they need to up the limit a bit 🤷
                      • on x86_64 architectures, their repo appears to be stuck to fr24feed v1.0.44-0. On arm64, it’s the newer 1.0.46-1
                      Code:
                      Validating email/location information...[W] Fall back to HTTP for error: SSL connect error
ERROR
Got no response or empty response from the server :(

                        Today between 2 pm and 3:30 pm (Eastern Time), one uat aircraft was picked by machine running dump978-fa
                        ​​​​​​

                        When I checked log of other machine (without dump978-fa), it also showed same log. This confirmed that following setting worked OK:

                        uat-port="30978"
                        uat-host="10.0.0.23"

                        Note: 10.0.0.23 is IP of machine running dump978-fa

                            OK - I got it working now. I had to run the `arm` version of `fr24feed` on my x86 machine in `qemu`, because it turns out that the `x86` version of the binary on the repo has not been upgraded to 1.0.46-1.

                            Maybe this is a question for Khan -- do you think you guys could publish an x86 (amd64) build of fr24feeder v1.0.46? Or should I email support about this?

                            Thanks!
