Hello Folks, im trying hard to get my Rpi4 back on line after a considerable break. Following all the steps on the AirNav pages BUT I get stuck in so many places with the following error:
[2021-08-01 18:26:15] Configuration file (/etc/rbfeeder.ini) doesn't exist.
pi@raspberrypi:~$
Your help, support and guidance would be very much appreciated, I've been at this all day and its getting frustrating now - Ive tried everything remove, purge, download and try all over again but I just cant get past the lack of a Config file. I really dont rememner having any problems when I made my first set up a few years ago.
Hope you can spare a bit of time, Thanks all, Pete

(1) Purge existing copy of rbfeeder, then reinstall a fresh copy
sudo apt-get purge rbfeeder
sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - http://apt.rb24.com/inst_rbfeeder.sh)"
(2) Now open file /etc/rbfeeder.ini to edit
sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini
(3) In above file under [client] add this line
key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Note: replace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by your actual key
(4) Save file (press Ctrl and O keys togather)
(5) Close file (press Ctrl and X keys togather)
(6) Restart rbfeeder by following command
sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder
(7) Check status by following command

Below is my file /etc/rbfeeder.ini for your quick reference. I added the lines starting with lat, lon, alt for enabling MLAT
