Yes! SSH into the Pi, and edit the file “/boot/adsbx-uuid”.

Save, reboot, done!

As I installed my adbsexchange on existing Piaware system I searched for the installed UUID. It was not written in /boot but in /usr/local/share/adsbexchange/asbx-uuid. The feeder is cofeeding for FR24 and Flightaware. Some of the hardware being nearly 10 years in service. I tend to have sd-card issues, which forces me to have the several feeder id’s stored safely
