Could you please consider adding a feature to the ADS-B feeder page to allow users to arrange the order of the site tabs? There are probably quite a few of us with multiple receivers and perhaps our favorite, or primary, feeder is not the one with the lowest number.
Example: I recently replaced my primary feeder with a Pi 2. That feeder now has the highest site number, but it’s the one I would like to be my default site on my feeder page. It would be great to have the option to choose the default site for the feeder page. Thanks!
The feeder ID is indeed derived from the Pi’s MAC address. It would be great if FlightAware would adopt the practice of using a “sharing key” like FR24. The new PlaneFinder client uses a “sharecode” that looks about the same as FR24’s key. This way your feeder is “portable” and can be associated with any receiver you like. I don’t like spoofing the MAC of my primary feeder because then I’ll have to spoof the MAC of the other Pi. And then, any time I boot a different distro on either Pi - well, you get the picture. Thanks for the suggestion though.
It can be problematic to MAC spoof with DHCP when you accidentally have more than one box with the same MAC on the same network… Really wish they would allow us to name and/or rename each feed so that could override the MAC address if present.
Oh, I agree – having an above-board mechanism for identification - association with an account would be the best way to go, particularly for those of us who are experimenting (and trying to advance the state of the art).
