Title: SBS1 client and FR24 feed
Post by: Wrongway on October 13, 2015, 11:50:23 AM
Is there a way to tell if your feed from SBS1 client is being used on a particular FR24 contact.  On FR24 the radar feed seems to be prefixed by a letter N F or T, for example F-EGNL1.  There are probably others I haven't seen s I am not sure what these represent.  Also I thought that number at the end was used for more than one feed in that area.  My feed is EGNL1 but I have seen EGNL1 and EGNL3 in FR24.  I would be interested to know if there is anyone else feeding in my area.  Is there a way to find out.

SBS1 Client feeds on FR24 are prefixed with an "N".

BUT.

There are now so many feeders for FR24 that the chances of seeing your Radar Code is unlikely as FR24 tends to stay with the code that was first attributed to the contact even if the data used comes from another feeder.

The displayed Radar Code has been an emotive issue on the FR24 forum for many years.

To check if your data is reaching FR24, where it may or may not be used with or without your Radar Code, check your Premium account status.

The premium status looks fine and have seen quite a few N-EGNL1's I was just curious when some T-EGNL3's popped up as well.

F = Predominantly FlightRadar24 supplied RadarCapes

T = Those feeding with their own equipment

N = SBS1 Client feeds.
