So following the best practice and adding a # in front of the line
do I need to move the --results to a new line ????

The line below is how my .ini file reads at present
mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.7 /usr/bin/mlat-client --results beast,listen,30104

i'm using a Airspy2 as my Rx

Thanks
Mark

Tried everything but it doesn't work quite well.
The MLAT status swich between:
-Active but not synched
-Active and synched with....(few Stations)
-dissapear completely

Code: [Select]
[client]
network_mode=true
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log

key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

sn=EXTRPI021224

lat=52.xxxx

lon=10.xxxx

alt=117

sat_used=0

sat_visible=0

[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1

[mlat]
autostart_mlat=true
#mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.7 /usr/bin/mlat-client

[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=true

Do i have to add something like "--results beast,listen,30104" ?
Thanks for alle the help!

It will only sync with stations if they are available to sync with and this will change as staton go on and offline

I have no idea regarding Listen

I see you have 38 stations synced at this time.  I have no idea why the syncing comes and goes, maybe someone with more knowledge can anser

No, it is not necessary, and RB24 mlat works perfectly well even without it..

However if you are using dump1090-fa or dump1090-mutability, adding above to mlat_cmd  will make RB24's mlat plane also to be displayed on map of dump1090-fa/dump1090-mutability

Thanks  @abcd567,
bit confused as yes I am using dump1090-fa so is that a bad thing as i'm also feeding a few other feeders at the same time?
guess i # the line out in the .ini file i will see less aircraft on my map right?

Your current configuration is Good, keep it as it is (i.e. keep mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.7 /usr/bin/mlat-client --results beast,listen,30104)

Mlat setting will be same for generic dongles and AirSpy.

I have the same problem.  Looking through the rbfeeder status is appears that it's not receiving replies from RadarBox?

Code: [Select]
Jan 26 14:30:13 raspberrypi rbfeeder[4118]: Tue Jan 26 14:30:13 2021 Disconnecting from mlat1.rb24.com:40900: No data (not even keepalives) received for 60 seconds
Jan 26 14:30:13 raspberrypi rbfeeder[4118]: Tue Jan 26 14:30:13 2021 Connected to multilateration server at mlat1.rb24.com:40900, handshaking

The startup config looks okay though?

Code: [Select]
   CGroup: /system.slice/rbfeeder.service
           ├─4118 /usr/bin/rbfeeder
           └─4129 /usr/bin/python3.7 /usr/bin/mlat-client --input-type dump1090 --input-connect 127.0.0.1:32457 --server mlat1.rb24.com:40900 --lat 5x.xxxxxx --lon -2.xxxxxx --alt xx --user EXTRPIxxxxxx


any thoughts?

Did you already asked the support? I only got a standard answer
That’s ok don’t worry, it will only sync when there is more than 3 stations nearby with MLAT as well.

still have the same problem and no answer.

I contacted the Development team who has advised me that following me raising the issue they have discovered a performance issue on some of the MLAT servers which they are now resolving.  Should take 1 to 2 hours to resolve

This is good news
As I’ve also been seeing the same problem for months since I started feeding RB MLAT
Do we expect to see fairly constant synced stations from now ?
