How do I change elevation?

[radi0chik]

I have a station that I'm moving the antenna farther up in elevation (just installed a tower). I've gone to the Edit Location spot once I'm logged in and viewing my station, but that only allows me to change the location, not adjust the height. I KNOW I set the height at one point, and I just want it to reflect the current altitude. Running on Raspberry Pi

Am I missing it somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

Altitude is set inside file /etc/rbfeeder.ini as item "alt" (in meters above sea level). Shown below in red color:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo nano /etc/rbfeeder.ini

#disable_log=1

key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

lat=43.5xxx
lon=-79.6xxx
alt=155

Can you change Meters to feet?

Can you change Meters to feet?

I dont think so, but not 100% sure. RB24 support / software developers may know better. As far as I know, the rbfeeder/mlat-client accepts elevation only in meters (that also above sea level, and NOT above ground level)

Thanks abcd

Thank you! I had tried previously emailing support, and they told me to edit the location, and it would also give me the option to change elevation. That option is not there.

I was able to modify the file abcd recommended, and used my current height ASL and the additional feet up the tower that the antenna is at, and then convert to meters. Hopefully it's at least CLOSE!

Appreciate the help!
