Hello, all, first post.

I have successfully installed RB on a Raspberry Pi and everything is working fine. I wanted to add a RaspberryPi to stream a VHF feed, but I have already spent hours trying to install the Airband Feed software without any success. I have followed the instructions on https://www.radarbox.com/sharing-vhf but somehow, the installation fails because of the version of the Raspberry OS (bullseye). I tried the workaround which consists of faking the OS version but that didn't work either. I think I've hit a dead end :-p

Has someone successfully installed the software ? Can anyone please help ?
Thanks
Greetings

Re image your microSD card with RaspberryPiOS Buster, then install all 1090 mhz and Airband software.

ok, thanks for your reply and the links.

I decided to install icecast on a separate RPi running DietPi (great distro. !) which has icecast bundled. Now I just have to figure out how to link it RB rb 8-0 (the config files are XML).

Another issue i have is MLAT. It is "active" but there are no "stations"....

Otherwise, all is working fine.

My icecast2 and rtl_airband works very well with bullseye.

What do you have inside rbfeeder.ini?

Runway 31

It depends on where you are located and whether there are other MLAT stations within range, what is your station number?
