I know nothing about Linux but found it easy enough.  A spliter may be the answer for the antenna

You wont get MLAT on V6, but you can see MLAT on radarbox

MLAT is where aircraft are not sending their positioanal information in the signal you are picking up from the aircraft.  However if there are 3 or 4 receivers nearby that are MLAT capable, the position can be triangulated on the server and shown on the radarbox.com map

The V6 software is not MLAT compatible so MLAT positions will not be shown on its map. 

Your flightstick is MLAT capable but you would need to run it with a Raspberry Pi to display on radarbox.com

AirNav RadarBox and RadarBox24.com Discussion / Re: Problems with new AirNav RadarBox 1090 Antenna

« Last post by Dennis Ro on Today at 10:27:34 AM »

Alan is right. Another possible cause is strong RF interference  from nearby mobile/cell phone towers or TV towers

You can easily conduct a scan for presence of interference by method given in following How-to:

Do I Need A Filter?


.

I don’t understand how to install PIL on bookworm.
But, could it be an interference problem since it wasn’t with the little antenna?

Little info beside:
Made yesterday everything new
Installed pi lite
Then dump1090-fa
Piaware
FrFeeder
RBFeeder
ADB-sexchange

Thought that would be a good idea to have a dump1090 instance

Yes, the house has a great sea view, from West to almost NW (305), and I have had signals out to 250NM with the antenna sitting in the window. The house has a poor view in other directions though.

Moved 40m up the hill to small shed, gaining about 10m altitude, but then getting a slightly worse angle to the NW lane. Here I've seen out to 262NM directly West at flight level 400. I've seen 255NM to the WNW, but there is a gap between ~170 and ~200.

I can move even further 50m up the hill to my comms tower,  gaining another 10m ,  and have a better view to the North, but this will reduce my NW sea view slightly.  I need to run a new cable to test this location. 

I can also get higher to the North East, gaining another 20m, but it would be a very long cable run. I might be able to run off batteries and solar, and wifi back. I would be looking down on the comms tower.
