I had a CrashDisk that required formatting and reinstalling everything. After reinstalling ADS-B Exchange, I was unable to insert the new Feed UID into my account. I would like help on how to add the new code to the account. ---

If you don’t have your old UUID (not the same as Feeder UID), you’ll have to unlink your old receiver and link your new one - it needs to be done from a browser using the same public IP address as your (new) feeder. ---

I have an almost identical issue where I was exploring and decided to reset the dongle and it created a new UID but even if connected to the account it will not show stats correctly and the range etc has gone deaf! Is there a way of re-establishing the original UID so to restore stats etc etc etc ---

The answer to the question about the [U]UID is above (i.e. “no”). It seems that something has gone wrong with your “reset the dongle” procedure. If you need help with that, we’ll need a lot more information about what you did… ---

I did a reset from the web interface on the Pi and it seemed to have killed everything - I got it up and running again but now the unit seems a little deaf - the coverage area is less than previous
