sorry typo
in running FR 24 setup the first questioin it asks is do you want to enable MLAT
also is there a way to back up SD CARD while it running in my PI3
Maybe someone else can answer this.
Honestly iād just start over ā¦ then you get fresh software as well 
Yes, there are several discussions about it. in the forum.
However reading the SD card in a card reader on a PC normally takes only a few minutes. So if you have acces to the card, i would do it that way.
The network backup is more for devices which you cannot access easily for removing the card

wiedehopf the script I used from you seems to have a static IP for my raspberry PI it stopped running since I rebooted my PI and and the IP number changedā¦ I can run the setup again and change it that way
Youāll have to be much more specific.
Just want to offer my experience as I just went through the ordeal. I run PiAware from the 4.0 image. After reading some help topics, I followed the first instruction in Share your ADS-B data - Real-time flight tracker | Flightradar24, i.e.,
If you are already running a Raspberry Pi with DVB-T stick:
SSH into your Raspberry Pi and execute this command:sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/install_fr24_rpi.sh)"You will be asked to enter your email address, antenna position and other details.
It is very straightforward. It is slightly easier if you had previously signed up as feeder. (You will need to enter the share key they sent you the first time. In this case, lat and long you enter in the script doesnāt matter because your site location is solely stored on the server, unlike with FlightAware.)
It also installs stupid auto-updating, the logging is completely annoying and it does some other questionable stuff.
Thatās why i added that guide i linked to installing it.
The issues in this thread were because it hadnāt been tested much and i had missed something.
Ill leave it alone as i cant be any more specific than I was I rebooted my router and the PI was assigned a new IP 192.x.x.x and FR24 when you set it up its asks for your PIās specific IP in the process of set up, So after reboot it was still expecting same IP so I had to go through sign up process again and put in the new IP and FR24 is running fine again
That is more specific and now i can tell you how to fix it 
fr24feed --signup is not a script from me, thatās the fr24feed configuration.
The guide i linked specifies which IP to use:
Raspbian Lite: ADS B receiver Ā· wiedehopf/adsb-wiki Wiki Ā· GitHub
Step 4.3A - Please enter your receiver's IP address/hostname
127.0.0.1
Step 4.3B - Please enter your receiver's data port number
30005
Thatās not a placeholder, 127.0.0.1 means localhost, the device itself, not another device.
I had the correct one and was working fine until router boot change the PIās IP again and had to re enter that into the FR24 setup againā¦ I didnt have that beforeā¦the IP could change and it never bothered FR24 just like it doesnt bother piaware.
Thank you for the work you put into creating that!! Iāve always hated how bloated and just plain terrible the FA and FR images were. Now I have the ADSBX base image but can also feed FA and FR using much less resources on my old 3B+ and not feeling as sluggish on the front-end. Youāre the hero we need but not the hero we deserve lol
What would you want to see changed in the FlightAware image? (the FA image is essentially Raspbian Lite plus the additional packages required to run PiAware - so Iām not clear what the bloat you complain about is; the adsbx image is 3x the size of the FA image and has about 200 more packages installed)
Well yeah, because you entered an IP address that wasnāt 127.0.0.1.
127.0.0.1 refers to the device itself and never changes, so if you use that it will work fine even when the IP changes.
