The Radarcape comes with a pre-installed Flightradar24 (FR24) feeder which uploads your received data to flightradar24.com.

You may enter your private sharing key that you got from FR24 in the configuration dialogue. The service can be disabled in the configuration menue. The sharing key can either be obtained via the FR24 feeder software for Windoes (the Radarcape feeder uses the same key as the Windows feeder) or you can send an e-mail to support<at>flightradar24.com to request a key.

FR24 feeding can be disabled and enable in the configuration dialogue. Disabling needs about 5sec as the interface is not continously opened.

Flightradar24 Feeder Configuration Dialogue

For debugging and supervision, there is a status dialogue that keeps the first lines when starting the feeder as well as the latest 15 messages generated by the feeder.

If the key field is left empty, the software generates an automatic key for you from your latitude and longitude. As of the time of this writing such keys are not yet accepted by Flightradar24 and you will see error messages like shown below:

fr24key=@RC66,48.54391,11.24659
[i]FR24Feed v234 - built on Oct 11 2013/14:49:28
[i]Downloading configuration...OK
[i]Parsing configuration...ERROR
[failure]: Not found, check your key!

In this case, you should apply for your own sharing key at Flightradar24.
