What’s the process to upgrade an antenna on the same account?

I have a gen 2(I think) on a roam plan in an area with congestion fees. I’d like to upgrade to a mini for portability battery use etc . How do I replace my antenna on my account without getting charged congestion fees?

PiAware / FlightAware apt repo package still generates an HTTP source

I noticed that flightaware-apt-repository 1.3 on Debian Bookworm generates

this apt source:

URIs: http://apt.svc.flightaware.com/piaware/release

Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/flightaware-archive-keyring.gpg

The repo is not unsigned. The InRelease file verifies against the packaged

FlightAware archive key, and apt-get update succeeds. The issue is that the

generated apt source still uses plain http://, then relies on the server

redirecting to HTTPS.

That is weaker than it needs to be. Apt signatures protect package/index

integrity, but HTTP still leaks repository access and depends on redirect

behavior. The package should emit

https://apt.svc.flightaware.com/piaware/release directly.

I also saw the repo metadata is co-signed by a second RSA key that is not

present in the installed keyring:

NO_PUBKEY B931BB28DE85F0DD

Apt accepts the repo because the installed FlightAware key has a valid

signature, but the extra missing-key signature is noisy and should either be

shipped in the keyring package or removed from the repo metadata.

One more hardening gap: the Release metadata does not include Valid-Until, so

clients cannot naturally detect stale replayed metadata. A local workaround is

to add Valid-Until-Max, but ideally FlightAware should publish Valid-Until.

Short-term local fix:

Types: deb

URIs: https://apt.svc.flightaware.com/piaware/release

Suites: bookworm

Components: piaware

Architectures: armhf arm64

Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/flightaware-archive-keyring.gpg

Valid-Until-Max: 2592000

Also disable the generated source by setting ENABLED=no in /etc/default/

flightaware-apt-repository, otherwise the package may regenerate the HTTP

source later.
