Hi everyone,
Hoping to get some insight from people with more experience than me on this platform. I just set up my ADS-B station a couple of weeks ago and I'm very new to everything but my station (EXTRPI731821) has had its Data Stats panel repeatedly freeze and stop updating over the past week, and I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem or maybe has a solution for it.
The main issue: my Data Stats menu table (messages/bandwidth/MLAT totals) stops updating and gets stuck on the same numbers and the same "Last updated" timestamp for roughly 22-26 hours before it starts working again on its own. This has happened at least 3 times in the past week alone, in fact I'm in the middle of one right now as I write this.
What's strange is that everything else on my station keeps working completely normally the whole time it's frozen. My ranking keeps climbing, my max range keeps updating, MLAT stays synced, and uptime shows 100% green the entire time. So it doesn't seem like my station has actually stopped sending data, it looks like just that one panel gets stuck on AirNav's end.
One more pattern I've noticed: all the freezes I've caught started within a few minutes of each other in UTC time (around 02:51-02:56 UTC), and each time it didn't start updating again until sometime after the UTC day rolled over, roughly late morning to early afternoon my local time (11:00-1300JST / 02:00-04:00UTC) . On the mobile app specifically, I also get an app crash if I try to open the daily stats screen while it's frozen after 00:00UTC time, works fine everywhere else in the app. Leading up to 00:00UTC The app just shows my frozen data status and then I have a 3 or 4 hour period where it crashes when I try to look at the data. I also haven't had two consecutive frozen days in a row yet.
Has anyone else noticed this pattern, or know if this is a known issue on AirNav's end? I've already checked that this isn't a feeder install problem, my station never actually goes offline, I still see planes on my station screen, and it keeps syncing MLAT and climbing in ranking the entire time ,so I don't think it's an issue with my setup necessarily, but happy to be told otherwise.
Station details:
- Station ID: EXTRPI731821
- Receiver: Raspberry Pi Zero 2W running dump1090-fa v11.0 (native install, not the PiAware SD image)
- OS: Raspberry Pi OS (Trixie / Debian 13, arm64)
- Dongle: RadarBox FlightStick
- Freeze duration: ~22-26 hours each time
- Freeze start time: consistently ~02:51-02:56 UTC
- Occurrences so far: at least 3 in the past week
- During freeze: ranking, max range, MLAT sync, and uptime all continue updating normally
- Mobile app: crashes specifically when opening the daily stats screen during a freeze but only after 00:00UTC
Thanks in advance for any insight!
