Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with my rbfeeder setup for airnavradar where my station page (
https://www.airnavradar.com/) displays “no data” (i.e. ADS‑B: 0, Messages: 89) despite my Flightradar24 feed running correctly. I am using rbfeeder on my Raspberry Pi to send data to airnavradar, and my current configuration is intended to pull ADS‑B data from my existing dump1090 output (which is providing data on port 30005). Below are the details of my current setup and the troubleshooting steps I have taken:
[client]
network_mode=true
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log
key=<key>
sn=EXTRPI642782
lat=<val>
lon=<val>
alt=85
[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1
[mlat]
autostart_mlat=false
#mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.9 /usr/bin/mlat-client
[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=true
The logs of rbfeeder looking good. It shows thet it sends packets to airnavradar.

I have verified that my FL24 system (dump1090) is working and providing ADS‑B data on port 30005. My rbfeeder configuration is set to network_mode=true, so it should be connecting to 127.0.0.1:30005. I have disabled the MLAT functionality within rbfeeder (autostart_mlat=false) to avoid potential conflicts with my existing FL24 MLAT feed. I have confirmed that my latitude, longitude, and altitude are correctly set.
What could be the cause of the issue?
What should I do to fix my feed?
Is there anything wrong with the configuration?
