HOW TO ACTIVATE THE MLAT FOR RADARBOX24

medlege · December 10, 2019, 01:10:54 PM

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

Ok thanks again and well noted.

Maybe a linux guru will show !
As you said Jessie is old.

Is PGANRB500405 also your station?

medlege · December 10, 2019, 05:04:34 PM

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

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??

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?

Yes they are!
