I needed the SD card I was using with Piaware, so I replaced it with a smaller one that I have. Image went fine, Pi shows connected and logged in to Flightaware. I claimed the feeder.
However, when I view my local skyaware, my site position is missing. All of the info is correct on the ADS-B page settings. When I look at Skywhere, I can see two site positions miles apart. I am showing two claimed feeders, even though it is the same. On the stats page, it says flightaware is not connected, and MLAT is disabled/Not synced/No latituse or longitude. The only thing I can see different is that the IP address of the the Raspberry Pi changed. Any ideas on what might be wrong?
The location for the second site has not been set. It is a flightaware esitimate
If you want to continue the stats with the old SITE ID, then get its UUID from your stats page and add it to your new device.
sudo piaware-config feeder-id longuuid_number_from_your_old_stats_page
sudo piaware-config -restart

I appreciate your help! I took your lines and inserted my ID. Which config file am I using? I placed it at the bottom of piaware-config, but didn’t see any change. Also, how do you delete the second site that was created?
You can use the command that Jon gave to add it to your new install. Or you can manually add it. Since you’re using the PiAware image, edit the file /boot/piaware-config.txt and add it at the end of the file
feeder-id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
Then the simplest thing is to just reboot the Pi. When it comes back up it will be running your original site. If you want to keep this site running, if you make a new image you should always add your feeder-id to avoid claiming and creating a new site, and it will also let you keep the streak running on your existing site if you care about that.
Note that your feeder-id is personal to you and should be treated like a password; don’t post it in here.
Your second site can be deleted once it’s been inactive for a while, I think it’s somewhere around the orange strip for it on your stats page, you get a small delete link after a while.
