I did a search and didn't find anything. But I'm trying to figure out what makes FR24 assign a prefix of T- versus F- to someone? My radar is T-KTMB2, but I can never find any tracks with it. With F-KTMB2, there are dozens.

Prefixes?

F is a fr24 supplied receiver (official) and a T feeder is anything else.
As for seeing yourself on the web page, its pot luck. The website generally shows the freshest data.
That being said the web page doesn't change the source of the track that quickly so it may be your data is being used but the website doesnt say so. It would be a crazy amount of internet traffic and server load for it to be dynamic.T-EGLF8

Obviously the system has some sort of algorithm that picks a certain track over another.F-KDAG1

First thing I'd do is check your polar plot under stats, then move your antenna outside and as high as possible, temporarily. Then re-check your polar plot. Guys here have had enormous increases in range (and better quality data frames, possibly) just by re-positioning their antenna.

I know I'm not nearly getting the range I should get based off my antenna mount. I see some people here getting ridiculous ranges compared to mine.

Gotcha. Cool:
Radar Feeder Key Codes:
Radar: NET1 = Users feeding from Planeplotter software.
Radar: T-F4V = Network receivers all over the world from AirNav Systems ADS-B Data Network. [Feed Discontinued]
Radar: T-FAX = Network receivers all over the world. [Feed Discontinued]
Radar: F-xxxx = FR24 boxes / Hardware feeders.
Radar: T-xxxx = Users owned boxes uploading to FR24 / Software feeders.
Radar: N-xxxx = Networked SBS-1 users uploading.
Radar: R12* R13* are just temporary codes assigned automatically by the system, before FR24 receivers have been assigned correct code manually.
Radar: R1a* = Temporary Radar codes on the upload Software & Server.
Radar: T-PP1 = Users feeding with Planeplotter software.
