After image is written, and microSD card is still in card reader of Desktop/Laptop, Enable ssh.
Windows:
In File Explorer, double click the drive letter of microSD card. This will open the folder /boot and show lots of files and some folders. Right click in /boot folder, and create a new blank file named ssh or ssh.txt
Mac:
Open terminal and give following command
$ touch /Volumes/piaware/ssh
I get the impression you are just not receiving anything (as in problems with the antenna or dongle)
Have you taken a look at the local map of piaware?
Sorry, I couldnāt respond. Had used up all my replies.
Yes it appears my Tuner is not functioning correctly. i have ordered a new one that will hopefully arrive this week. My current tuner with I send the command rtl_test bring up the following:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ rtl_test
Found 1 device(s):
0: Realtek, RTL2838UHIDIR, SN: 00000001
Using device 0: Generic RTL2832U OEM
usb_claim_interface error -6
Failed to open rtlsdr device #0.
Late last week it brought up Fitipower which i know is not capable of 1090Mhz. Early last week it showed up as RTL2838. So I think it is fried.
It is just being used currently you need to stop dump1090:
sudo systemctl stop dump1090-fa
rtl_test
But that doesnāt really matter if it is a FitiPower tuner, those are not compatible with ADS-B (1090 MHz)
(so it might pretend to work fine but is never actually receiving anything because the reception is terrible)
Yep, time to wait for my new tuner:
Using device 0: Generic RTL2832U OEM
Detached kernel driver
Found Fitipower FC0012 tuner
Supported gain values (5): -9.9 -4.0 7.1 17.9 19.2
Sampling at 2048000 S/s.
The dongle has two chips.
The rtl_test shows both.
If the Tuner is R820T, it suits 1090 Mhz (Type 1 in table below)
If the Tuner is Fitipower 0012, it does NOT suit 1090 Mhz (Type 2 in table below)
| Type | Tuner Chip | Receiver Chip | Dongle Suitable for ADSB |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dongle Type 1 | R820T2 | RTL2832U | YES |
| Dongle Type 2 | FC0012 | RTL2832U | NO |
Yes, i have a 1090Mhz antenna mounted on the roof. i will wait until my new tuner arrives.
Thank you for your assistance.
Second that re Virtual Radar Server, excellent program.

I found the link above extremely helpful!
I bought the FlightAware ProStick Plus, followed the instruction to image the PiAware. Then run a couple āsudoā commands to feed FR24. FlightAware Stick Pro is the best investment Iāve ever made = $29 + 7$ antenna!
What do you mean with those numbers?
Looking at your stats you have a lot of room for improvement, what antenna are you using?
I mean currency 
ProStick Plus + 1090 Antenna => $29.00 + $7.00 = $36.00
For the antenna, Iām using the onelinkmore 1090Mhz Antenna MCX Plug Connector 2.5dbi Gains ADS-B.
One of the typical GSM whip antennas which arenāt really for 1090 MHz. (no matter what the description said, iāve seen countless of those)
See this thread on how to improve your reception significantly:
How to improve performance of whip antenna of DVB-T
https://www.amazon.com/1090Mhz-Antenna-Connector-2-5dbi-Adapter/dp/B013S8B234
.
Raspberry Pi Zero W not expensive, under a third of the cost of a normal Pi. You would need also though a micro USB to USB adapter as it doesnāt have full sized USB port.

That was the first step i did. Remove the tip and replaced it with a copper wire in the required length.
This made a good improvement compared to the default setting, i am using the blue pro plus stick as well.
In one mag-mount, I cut the removeable part of original whip to 52 mm (the one over cookie can in photo in my last post above).
In second mag-mount unscewed the original whip, and in itās place used a 52 mm long thin steel tie-wire (photo below)
I did not cut it, because i have concerns destroying things 
I have a FlightAware FlightFeeder (provided by FA) device and I want to share its feed to Flightradar24. I am a total noob in this field and donāt have any experience with Linux/Rpi scripts and donāt want to invest in any new device. I want to set up this feed FA-FF to FR24 via my Windows PC.
I know there are several advanced threads in this forum, but I cannot follow those steps due to my lack of knowledge. Can someone please help me set it up (any tutorials/videos/documents/URLs that might help)?
Welcome annaydas 
I struggled with RPi commands etc to begin with (actually I still do) but Iām learning all the time!
No one ācomes out of the wombā knowing this stuff; we all had to learn, and Iām sure we all specialise in other unrelated areas.
So saying this, Iām not your best person 
but thereās some helpful members on here, so someone will help you with this one Iām sure 
Feeds from Windows are supported by basically no one.
Youād have to run a virtual machine or maybe WSL.
Even then feeding FR24 is tough because they only provide outdated binaries for non Raspberry Pi architectures.
Really your best be is to get a Raspberry Pi ā¦
A guide for setting that up can be found here: Raspbian Lite: ADS B receiver Ā· wiedehopf/adsb-wiki Wiki Ā· GitHub
There are several ways to use a remote data source, but this is the approach iād recommend, choose readsb as a decoder then make it work net-only as described here: Automatic installation for readsb Ā· wiedehopf/adsb-scripts Wiki Ā· GitHub
You can do that just as well on a VM or under WSL but again the fr24 feeding is more annoying due to versions.
You can feed others though as for example adsbexchange as the scripts work on pretty much any debian no matter the architecture.
