I ran into a similar problem.
I was successfully feeding only 1090 to ADSBexchange and radarbpox24. I received the RB24 978 USB stick & antenna, added the HW and SW to the raspberry PI and all feeds stopped working. If I disconnect the 978 USB stick, the 1090 feed to ADSBexchange works again but still nothing being sent to RB24.
Read several threads here and this is what I've got now for rbfeeder.ini plus some output Any help would be greatly appreciated.
