Mode-S Receivers => Kinetic's SBS-3 => Topic started by: paulspot on September 17, 2026, 09:15:42 AM
I have just started contributing to FR24 successfully using Ubuntu with the help of FR24 Support.
My feed is as follows:
SBS3 (in the loft feeding from there to the Zyxcel router using an ethernet cable).
to
Ubunto FR24 feed on my laptop.
Until now I have been successfully using the SBS3 box IP (ends .170) and port 10001 to get data from the SBS3 box, then feeding Planeplotter.
After now successfully contributing to FR24, the issue is, no matter which IP/port combination I enter in the Basestation hardware setting, I cannot get Basestation to get data from the FR24 feed.
I have been liaising with FR24 support, but so far no success.
I am starting FR24 (through Ubuntu) first and testing it successfully.
Question is, why is my basestation software not seeing the data from the FR24 Ubuntu feed? I understand that both pieces of software cant use the SBS3 box IP at the same time.
I'm not familiar with the FR24 feeder for Ubuntu.
Does it output decoded data in a format that BaseStation can use and, if so, on what IP address and port??
Do you have a link to any documentation?
