Hi Alan
About 10 years ago, I got my station EXTSHA000184 automatically created and linked to my account when I started feeding RB24 using Radarbox Data Sharer software. I used RTL1090 as receiver-decoder, since Data Sharer lacks a decoder. I also successfully tried dump1090-win32 and ModeSDeco2 (windows version). I continued feeding RB24 using the Data Sharer for many years.
Several years later, I installed V6, and using the email and password of EXTSHA000184, could successfully login and feed RB24 without using dump1090 or RTL1090 as V6 is a complete stand-alone all-in-one software.
Recently I loggedin to V6 using a newly registered account, using its email and password. Unlike Data Sharer, V6 failed to assign a new station number.
I contacted Support. They advised me to login using Data Share. When I logged-in using the data Sharer, it instantly created and displayed a new station number EXTSHA197001. Now I can feed using V6 (without dump1090 or RTL1090) using the new account's email and password.
CONCLUSION:
To get a new Statiin number againt a new account, use "Data Sharer+RTL1090", as V6 is incapable to do this.
However once a new Station Number is created using Data Sharer, the V6 can also use it.
