I think I now need to disable the UAT feed from the 1st feeder id

You can do it as given in 3.7.1 QuickStart Guide, item 9.2

You can use sudo piaware-config [argument] [value] for original instance of piaware, but this wont work for the second instance of piaware.

For making first (original) instance of piaware to be “1090 only”, follow commands in item 9.2 of QuickStart Guide.

For making 2nd instance of piaware to be “978 only”, you will have to do following:

sudo nano /etc/piaware2.conf
Then add lines (or edit if already existing)

uat-receiver-type sdr 
receiver-type none 

Save file, (Ctrl+o) and close (Ctrl+x).
Restart 2nd instance
sudo systemctl restart piaware2

Item 9 of QuickStart Guide

9 - USING ONLY ONE FREQUENCY (978 Mhz OR 1090 Mhz)

9.1 - If you want to run 978 Mhz only
In this case, you will need only one dongle, but you will have to disable dump1090-fa by following command

sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
sudo piaware-config receiver-type none
sudo systemctl restart piaware

To re-enable dump1090-fa (requires an additional dongle for dump1090-fa)

sudo piaware-config receiver-type rtlsdr
sudo systemctl restart piaware

9.2 - If you want to run 1090 Mhz only
In this case, you will need only one dongle, but you will have to disable dump978-fa by following command

sudo piaware-config receiver-type rtlsdr
sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type none
sudo systemctl restart piaware

To re-enable dump978-fa (requires an additional dongle for dump978-fa)

sudo piaware-config uat-receiver-type sdr
sudo systemctl restart piaware
