Be nice please am a noob 30 days in. I have two recivers both fair setups. Both are pi3 one radarbox plus filter wide band lna other pro stick filter and wide band lna. the second setup has the ant up higher than the first on average get 50 more aircraft but most of the time 1500 less message’s a second. Every now and again this changes and doubles the first reciver for a few days then returns to less than half. any advise would be great thanks.

This can have 2 reasons.

  1. you have Skyaware Anywhere open, this increases the reporting from the station towards the server.
  2. Sometimes the server increases the postions reporting from the server side. Usually the number of aircraft remains the same but the positions are about 50% higher.
    This happens randomly and sometimes it is a matter of days or even more then 30 days before it returns to the lower values

If it is reason number 2 there isn’t much you can do about it. the recieving servers are in a pool so it is very hard to pinpoint the sever causing this. You can’t get that from the logging or any other way.
