So I had to perform a fresh reinstall on a Pi3 system over the weekend, and thankfully everything seems to be up and working again. (I think? I hope?!)
A quick sudo fr24feed status reveals my my MLAT preconfigured details as below.
[mlat][i]Starting MLAT with preconfigured position: 56.50,-3.01,344.0
I'm assuming this relates to a latitude of 56.50 Longitude of -3.01 and altitude of 344ft.
A quick recheck of the receivers position via GPS suggested my Lat/Lon was;
56.29'55.1N
3.0'34.7W
302ft (AMSL)
Whilst Lat/Lon remained consistent on remeasuring, the height (ft AMSL) varied quite a bit between two devices by around 30ft. My Fenix 5 GPS sports watch (with barometric, GPS/GLONASS sensors) reported 320ft AMSL and my Samsung S7 remained reasonably consistent at around 302ft.
I have two queries really;
Is the degree of variation from the existing MLAT preconfigured position/feed and recent remeasuring worth notifying support to update?
Is the variation, particularly the altitude, much of an issue? I guess this device with barometric sensors will be more accurate?
