Feature Request : 978 support for other feeders #47

Closed dlasher closed 2 years ago

dlasher commented 2 years ago

Several other services (radarbox for example) have started adding support for 978mhz feeds, like Flightaware has. I've been running dual USB-SDR for a long time, works perfectly with Flightware. (And thank you for adding support)

Poking around, I don't see any way to mirror the 978 feed out to other feeds like we're doing with the 1080mhz feeds.

If I'm not seeing it, please share how? If it's not already possible, consider this a feature request.

Thank you!

Hi @dlasher ,

Previously I have added necessary configs for rbfeeder accroding this post on Radarbox Forum. But I'm not able to verify if this really work.

Could you please provide the content of /var/snap/adsb-box/current/rbfeeder/rbfeeder.ini of your feeder? Also the output of sudo snap logs -n all adsb-box.rbfeeder might help. P.S. you probably need to restart rbfeeder first by running sudo snap restart adsb-box.rbfeeder, wait 5+ minutes and run the sudo snap logs ... command, otherwise it will only provide statistics data.

added

[dump978] dump978_enabled=true dump978_port=30979

as suggested - verified that 30979 was listening (dump978-fa) - and restarted all the services.

My station does show up : https://www.radarbox.com/stations/uat978

and the summary page does show a couple packets!

Flight Packets | 732,079 Packets with Position | 361,442 MLAT Packets | 0 UAT Packets | 7 

That may have done it!

That's great news! Then I will update the script used to update rbfeeder.ini. I supposed the keyword [dump978] should be already there, but it's not in this case.

Thank you again for not only the great snap you built and maintain, but the quick response. \tip.hat\

978 support is working just fine - closing this request.
