1. INTRODUCTION
Data quality and consistency are always our primary concern and while we can reduce
errors caused by our own FR24 equipment to a minimum, issues with third-party decoders
producing stable and consistent results remain.
To reduce issues with third-party decoders, we have created our own decoder which works
with all commonly used Mode-S/ADS-B receivers and popular hardware platforms.
To help us ensure the highest quality data, we ask you to please give it a try!
CURRENTLY SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS
Linux (ARM=Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard, x86, x64)
CURRENTLY SUPPORTED RECEIVERS
Kinetics SBS1, SBS1er, SBS3 - USB and Network

Mode-S Beast - USB and Network
Most DVBT sticks - USB and Network
Most “AVR” compatible receivers - USB/Serial and Network
MicroADSB – USB and Network

2. INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION
2.1 LINUX
2.1.1. Requirements
When using any receiver except for the DVBT dongle no special changes or dependencies
are required. Most installations will work out of the box. For some USB-connected receivers
(SBS1/1er/3 & Mode-S Beast) ftdi_sio kernel module is required, however, it comes with
most modern Linux distributions. Other receivers use modem emulation and should work
without any external drivers.
The DVBT dongle requires some kernel modules to be disabled as well as a few extra
libraries to be present in the system. Our Raspberry Pi (armhf, arm64) and Debian
(x86/x64) packages contain everything you need to start feeding immediately.
2.1.2 Config file, web interface & log file

your browser: http://IP-of-Pi:8754/diagnostics_dump.tgz
2.2 COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS / PARAMETERS
While the web-based configuration should be satisfactory for most users, some may want
to have a little extra control over the configuration. Below is a list of available arguments
with their default values. For Boolean type, we use “yes” and “no” lowercase. Anything
different than “yes” will be considered as “no”, however.
NOTICE: Parameters stored in the config file (/etc/fr24feed.ini) do not have the “--” prefix!
--fr24key=0123456789ABCDEF - Your 16-character long sharing key that can be used only
on one machine at a time. If you have multiple receivers please request more sharing keys
as otherwise it might get blocked due to one session kicking the other out.
--receiver=TYPE - Defines the receiver FR24 Decoder should connect to. There is no default
value as you need to know what receiver you have.
Supported types are:
sbs1tcp - SBS1, SBS1er, SBS3 connected via Ethernet/TCP, please specify its IP and
port by using “--host”, see below. When using a Kinetic Avionics receiver an
additional option “--mpx” is available so you can connect to BaseStation as well. The
default IP and port is 192.168.1.170:10001.
sbs1usb - SBS1, SBS1er, SBS3 connected directly via USB. For Linux users, the device
path of the receiver needs to be specified using “--path” (see below). When using a
Kinetic Avionics receiver an additional option “--mpx” is available so you can
connect to BaseStation as well.
beast - Mode-S Beast connected directly via USB. For Linux users, the device path of
the receiver needs to be specified using “--path” (see below).
! Only the binary output mode at 3Mbit is currently supported.

9
beast-tcp - Mode-S Beast connected via TCP (serial to network, etc). Please specify
its IP and port by using “--host”, see below.
dvbt - DVBT USB dongle connected directly via USB. Only one DVBT dongle can be
used at a time. When using a stand-alone dump1090 instance or another
software-defined radio demodulator please use the “avr-tcp” receiver type instead.
--raw=BOOL - Defaults to “no” and decides whether or not the RAW data stream should be
available on port 30334 for all receivers but DVBT which uses port 30002 instead.
! When using dump1090 with “--net” please disable it as that feed is

already provided - otherwise, it will cause conflicts.
--bs=BOOL - Defaults to “yes” and decides whether or not the BaseStation-compatible data
stream should be generated on port 30003.
! Also here: When using dump1090 with “--net” please disable it as that
feed is already provided - otherwise, it will cause conflicts.
--mpx=BOOL - Defaults to “no” and decides whether or not the SBS1/3 compatible data
stream should be enabled on port 10001. This option is only available when Kinetic Avionics
receiver is used to enable the BaseStation connection. For all other receivers this option is
ignored.
--procargs=”flags and arguments” - Extra arguments that should be passed to dump1090

application on startup. To enable HTTP server/web interface of dump1090 please set to
“--net --net-http-port 8888” and make sure both “bs” and “raw” feeds are switched off to
avoid conflicts.
--logpath=”/path/to/logfile/directory” - This parameter lets you change the location of log

files. Defaults to “/var/log/fr24feed”.
--logmode=”MODE” - Changes log file mode “0” - no log file, “1” - rotate at midnight keep for
48 hours, “2” - rotate at midnight keep for 72 hours. Defaults to “0” that is no logfile stored.

10
--bind-interface=”IP_ADDRESS” - Changes the network interface that all FR24 Feeder

services listen on. By default, it listens on all available interfaces (0.0.0.0). This affects
BS/RAW/MPX feeds as well as the WWW interface.
--gt=TIMEOUT - Defines global timeout, in seconds, for receiver data/mode-s frames. When
no frame is received within that time it will reconnect to the receiver or restart the process
in case of DVBT stick is used directly. Defaults to 600 seconds.
--config-file=”/path/to/fr24feed.ini” - Lets you override the default configuration file

location. Useful only for standalone version users, lets you have multiple configs for
different receivers, etc.
3. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
3.1 I don’t see as many aircraft as before when I used the software “ABCD”
3.2 Running FR24 decoder side by side with your own software
3.3 Why am I not seeing ground traffic?
3.4 Can I use the FR24 decoder with the Airnav Radarbox receiver?
3.5 Possible conflicts when using RAW / BS data feeds and a DVBT stick
3.6 What is the name and location of the configuration file?
3.1 I don’t see as many aircraft as before when I used the software “ABCD”
One of the reasons many decoders show incorrect positions, callsigns, etc. is because the
data is trusted too early, before it’s been tracked long enough to be verified. We decided
that it’s better not to show an aircraft until we are certain to some extent that its position is
correctly decoded. If you feel like you really want to see more aircraft locally please read
the next section: “Running FR24 decoder side by side with my own software”.
3.2 Running FR24 decoder side by side with your own software

11
There might be occasions when you want to run your own software side by side with the
FR24 decoder. The most common reason is missing some advanced features like
visualization and local flight database or being able to see more aircraft even when their
position is not 100% certain.
For all the supported receivers, except the DVBT dongle, the easiest way to go is to
configure the FR24 decoder as the primary processing application and then configure the
software of your choice to connect to it using TCP. To do so, please go to FR24 Settings by
accessing http://IP-of-Pi:8754/settings.html on the machine the decoder runs on and
enable RAW data feed, if not enabled already. Next, save settings and restart the decoder.
The next step is configuring your software to access RAW data. Below you will find two
example configurations, one using the adsbSCOPE and the other using Virtual Radar Client.
3.2.1 Virtual Radar Server
Please go to the Tools->Options menu, then select Receivers from the tree view on the left
and configure the connection as follows:
Data source: AVR or Beast Raw Feed

Connection type: Network
Reconnect at startup: yes
Address: IP address of the computer running FR24 decoder.
Port: 30334
Then select “Tools ->Reconnect to Data Feed->Receiver” to activate the data flow.
3.2.2 Kinetic Avionics BaseStation*
To enable SBS1 compatible data feed please enable the “MPX” feed either by using the
WWW configuration form or by adding mpx=”yes” in the fr24feed configuration file. After
you do that you can start BaseStation and configure its data interface to use TCP/IP
connection where
IP = IP address of the computer running the FR24 decoder
Port = 20072.
* - This option is only available for those who own a Kinetic Avionics SBS1/3 family receiver.
3.2.3 adsbSCOPE

12
Please select “Other->Network->Network Config” from the top menu bar then configure the
RAW-data-client section as follows:
Port number: 30334
URL: IP address of the computer running FR24 decoder.
3.2.4 Dataformat: binary
Then select the “Other->Network->RAW Data Client active” to start receiving and processing
data.
In the case of the DVBT dongle it is better to use another approach as some data is filtered
out at an early signal processing stage. To do so, you will need to configure dump1090 to
access your DVBT dongle directly (please refer to dump1090 manual) and enable
networking by adding “--net” parameter to the command line. After you start dump1090
you can configure FR24 Decoder to use its RAW data stream. Please go to
http://IP-of-Pi:8754/settings.html and change receiver type to AVR (TCP) entering
“IP-address:30002” in the Host/IP field. Then save settings and restart the decoder.
! While it is possible to run the FR24 decoder on a separate machine it is

not recommended due to the high network traffic volume of RAW data.
3.3 Why am I not seeing ground traffic?
Because of the way ground positions are transmitted, we need to use a reference point to
calculate the actual position. It is possible to use the receiver’s location, but our experience
has shown that this often leads to incorrect results and aircraft being shifted by several
miles. This happens because many ADS-B receivers exceed the maximum range designed
for ground traffic especially when they are located in flat, unobstructed areas, for example
on the other side of a big lake or a small sea. The only reliable way of getting a good
reference point is using the aircraft’s previous position as it landed. Therefore, we store
information about all aircraft landings near your receiver and save it in a file. In the
beginning or when not used for a while this file does not contain recent entries and needs
to be filled up by landing traffic.

13
3.4 Can I use the FR24 Decoder with the Airnav Radarbox receiver?
No, unfortunately, this particular receiver is not supported due to data encryption.
3.5 Possible conflicts when using RAW / BS data feeds and a DVBT dongle
When using a DVBT dongle with some advanced features of the dump1090 software, like
an HTTP server, you may end up causing port number conflicts. Using dump1090 with --net
in particular will make it listen on ports 30003 and 30002 which are also used for BS and
RAW data feeds by fr24feed.
In such a case, please make sure to disable both RAW and BS feeds by editing the
fr24feed.ini config file or running the configuration wizard again.
3.6 What is the name and location of the configuration file?
Linux
/etc/fr24feed.ini - default location, standalone version users can override it with

--config-file=/path/to/fr24feed.ini
To have full control over the network access we recommend that you use a firewall. You
can, however, limit the access by binding to the local host interface. To do that, please add
bind-interface=”127.0.0.1” inside your config file. To find its location, see point 3.6 above.
