You are trying to run dump978-rb without its dongle.
You have 2 dongles but running 3 dumps (dump1090-fa, dump978-fa, and dump978-rb).

Either plugin one more dongle, or stop dump978-rb, else you will keep getting error messages.

If you dont want to plug in 3rd dongle, then issue following command to stop dump978-rb

Code: [Select]

sudo systemctl stop dump978-rb   

sudo systemctl disable dump978-rb   

.

Thoughts on the following error:?

 dump978-rb.service - dump978 ADS-B UAT receiver
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dump978-rb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

(1) RBFeeder:
Cause: Missing or corrupted mlat-client
Solution: Install mlat-client

To install on RPi with Raspbian BUSTER:

Code: [Select]

## Remove broken mlat-client
sudo dpkg --purge mlat-client 

## Download mlat-client package for BUSTER
wget https://github.com/abcd567a/mlat-client-package/releases/download/v1/mlat-client_0.2.11_BUSTER_armhf.deb   

## Install downloaded package
sudo dpkg -i mlat-client_0.2.11_BUSTER_armhf.deb   

## Reboot Pi
sudo reboot


(2) dump978:

Solution -1
You already have dump1090-fa which uses one dongle, and dump978-fa which uses 2nd dongle. To feed 978 uat to radarbox, install dump978-rb and add 3rd dongle for it.
 
Solution -2:
Use socat to port forward dump978-fa's output port 30978 to rbfeeder's uat input port 28380. Requires knowledge of Linux.

I have 2 receivers, one for UAT and one for ADSB. 
I am using dump1080-fa and dump978-fa.    dump978-rb is installed, but is not running.

I am sending UAT data to FA.

I want to be able to send it to RB as well...
I get that error message (see OP) and would like to know what to do next.
And yes ABCD is very knowledgeable.

I was assuming he had a 978 receiver when he was asking.  Yes you need a seperate 978 receiver as well as a 1090 ADSB receiver,  You cant get them both from the same receiver at the same time

I think you need a separate radio to receive (and dump) 978MHz as well as the more typical 1090MHz, correct?  Don't take my word for it, I'm only a ~week into my initial foray with an RTL-SDR.com V3 Dongle: https://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/

but I've been pretty much doing the same/similar setup, using RPi3B (non-plus) with the aforementioned SDR to feed various sites.  I started with and built out my setup using the official PiAware 3.8.1 image and added FR24, pfclient, ADSBexchange and RB24 along with some great performance graphs that @abcd567 suggested, as well.  He's 100% the expert to resolve pretty much any and all RPi related issues you may be having.  In my first week he's already resolved multiple niggling little issues that kept cropping up (mostly due to my basic lack of comprehension), but he's super nice and even smarter taboot.

Two new ones:
CVD - Aviation Consultants Inc (USA) trading as ACI Jet
WVU - Stockmeier Urethanes Inc (USA)

Deletion:
HSU - Helisul has merged with Babcock Portugal which uses ICAO code BBO which we already have.

Amend:
ENJ - Enerjet (Canada) have changed ICAO code to DAT

Great one part fixed then.  See this thread regarding dump978 and how abcd567 fixed the issue he had https://forum.radarbox24.com/index.php?
