Hi guys!
I am new to feeding to FR24.
I just received all my hardware and set it the last couple days.
Hardware used:
RPi 3+, DVB-T USB Dongle with small antenna, Wifi / Cable Ethernet
So the situation is the following:
If I check the status of my feed everything seems to be ok (except MLAT but this should not be a problem).
If I log into the FR24 and feeding website my uptime is 100% but I am always shown as offline.
Also the range of my antenna shows 0 nm in all directions even though it has a good position outside on my balcony.
Here are not that many planes flying but at least some of them I should be able to track.
Unfortunately my counter of tracked planes is 0 over the last 3 days.
I contacted the support of FR24 and this was the answer:
"Check the log file please. You can use this command to do that: tail -f /var/log/fr24feed/fr24feed.log
If you see only pings, it would mean the antenna is not receiving any signal. Try placing your antenna in a better spot."
When I try the command there are only Pings as described and I tried to rearange the antenna but nothing changes.
So now the most important question:
Is there any way to find out if my hardware is propper working how it is installed and should the data on FR24 not at least show some nautical miles as a range of my antenna?
I also tried to reinstall the image of my Pi but nothing at all changes.
Please let me know which additional infomation you may Need to find out what is wrong here because I am kind of out of ideas!
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards
Strongjones
