Hello to all of you !
Please can you help me in order to activate the MLAT for my EXTRPI feeder ?
I have specified the exact GPS coordinates and altitude above ground using the "See instructions" link in the stats page but the MLAT is still inactive.
How to check if the MLAT client is installed ?
Once again thank you very much in advance for your kind help.
Regards.
-
If it is installed it will state MLAT active on the status. What is your station number
Try run "apt-get update -y; apt-get install mlat-client -y; reboot" then setup the Lon and Lat in your station id profile and then will be MLAT ready

Hello Runway31 and thanks for your help.
I followed your instructions but got an error message and could not make it installed.
I am not a linux expert at all and maybe this is due to an old package distribution.
Please see the logs enclosed...
Do you have any clue what to do ?
Regards.
-
Means nothing to me. just gave advice given on another thread which installed the MLAT.. Jessie maybe an old package that doesn't work with that.
Maybe a Linux guru will pass by with some advice
Alan
-
Ok thanks again and well noted.
Maybe a linux guru will show !
As you said Jessie is old.
Regards.
-
Is PGANRB500405 also your station?
Alan
-
Yes it is mine !
It is working fine as it is an Xrange2.
I just had to specifiy the coordinates.
As you said let's hope a linux guru will show !
Thanks
-
I see that MLAT is available on it now
Alan
-
Yes indeed for my Xrange2 (PGANRB feeder), MLAT is now working fine !
But for my Pi (EXTRPI Feeder) it is still not working.
As you said I have an old debian version...

Hello I am trying as well to install MLAT on one of my xRange devices. I followed the procedure and when I run the "apt-get install mlat-client -y" command it says that the version installed is the last one. I have also mlat-autostart=True in rbfeeder settings.
In the status page, however, MLAT is always off and Mlat Autostart is also off!

Any suggestion?
Thank you
-
Edit your location using the exact lat/lon for MLAT. Failing that contact [email protected] and ask them to have it upgrade to MLAT
I note that PGANRB300389 has been offline for a year??
Alan
-
Hei thank you for the quick reply!
Lat and Lon are correct, and the device is offline because I am not sharing the data but I am using them internally to feed a private system.
I am trying to set up a server (mutability) and connect the 4 xranges I have. Apparently I am not able to do so because maybe I am missing something in the configuration of the device...
-
Are these your own bought units?
Alan
-
Yes they are!
-
I would have thought that they would require to be on the Airnav or other operators network to have the MLAT to operate as the MLAT calculations are carried out on the server software not on the unit. However but I know nothing abut Pi configutation
Alan
-
If you have Raspbian Jessie, it is too old. Please upgrade to Stretch or Buster.
Output of these commands will show your Raspbian version
lsb_release -sc
cat /etc/os-release
For detailed instructions for enabling MLAT on RPi, please see this post:

You were right. My version is jessie. Thank you very much for the hint.

Can I update it on my own? Any warranty issue?
-
abcd Will installing the MLAT client be any use if the receiver is not connected to the Radarbox server
Giacomo Regarding warranty the only ones who can answer that are Airnav
Alan
-
Update on my situation: now I have an xRange2 with MLAT active!
Did anyone ever tried to connect to the MLAT mutability server with the xRange? Without feeding radarbox24?
-
As the MLAT software is on the Radarbox server and all the calculations to enable MLAT are carried out there I don't see how you can
For you to have MLAT on your own using only your own receivers not connected to the Airnav server you would need your own MLAT software on your server

I have MLAT running for FA and I believe it is porting to RB, but I am only seeing MLAT aircraft on RB without positions and I don't see "MLAT activated" or anything like that on my station web display. I have the correct lat/long in the config file but maybe I am missing something.
I had it working before but my SC card went about a week ago and had to re-install from scratch.
Any ideas what is missing in my config? Tnx..
-
Yes you are feeding RB24 OK https://www.radarbox24.com/stations/EXTRPI004730
Unfortunately I know nothing regarding Pi's so I cant help with your MLAT query. Hopefully abcd will be along to assist.
Have you tried editing your location exact lat/lon via edit next to your location on your status
Alan
-
Yes I input my lat/long in the "edit position" in DD.dddd format. Wondering if that is the issue should be DD,MM,SS or DD,MM.mm? Will try DD,MM.mmm and see what happens. Also a "-" in front of longitude for west of prime meridian.
According to the zoomed-in map it should be accurate, or at least within 20m I would guess.

-
Decimal lat/lon and - before the lon

Your site shows mlat is NOT activated.
To activate MLAT you have to do following two things
(1) Add your location:
Latitude like 49.5615
Longitude like -97.1543
(above figures are only example, use your actual latitude & longitude values)
(2) Install mlat-client:
sudo apt-get install mlat-client
-
Still no go. Tried to build and install mlat client but still no go. Coordinates are good. Must be another issue somewhere... maybe I'll have to remove the RB feeder and re-install...
update:
Found the fix on the FA forum tnx @abcd567!

Found the fix on the FA forum tnx @abcd567!
I have posted many fixes for RB Mlat on FA forum, each for a different problem. Can you please provide the link to my FA post where you found the fix, or copy the fix here? This will benefit many others having same issue. Thanks.

Hi all, is it possible to setup MLAT using the radarbax flightstick ?
Im currently setup & sharing ( around 12 months )
station# EXTSHA195185
Any idiots guide would be fantastic
thanks in advance
-
You can I believe as long as your Flightstick is connected to a Pi, you cant if plugged into a Windows computer
Alan
-
@aps
Station numbers starting with:
EXTSHA are Windows Feeder
EXTRPI are RPi Feeder
As your station number is EXTSHA195185, you are Windows Feeder, and as Alan has already told, you cannot have MLAT activated.

Hallo zusammen, wie kann ich bei der Radarbox Extreme 2 die Koordinaten einstellen damit MLAT funktioniert.
Ich komme nicht an die Einstellung.

Klicken Sie im linken Raster unter Ihrer Stationsnummer auf die Stelle, an der sie steht. Klicken Sie hier, um Ihren Standort zu bearbeiten, und geben Sie dann Ihren Standort Lat / Lon ein
