Hi, all I have installed satnogs on a raspberry pi 3B using a RTL-SDR v3 dongle I am having a problem with it not getting any date no audio no waterfall here is the log

This is the settings that I have set up

any help would be grateful.

@fixitdaz why did you choose to put rtlsdr in satnogs_soapy_rx_device? I’m asking because the right one is driver=rtlsdr as it is noted at https://wiki.satnogs.org/SatNOGS_Client_Setup. What instructions did you follow and ended up with the rtlsdr value?

fixitdaz · March 31, 2020, 4:42pm

yes, I did set it up with driver=rtlsdr to start with and changed it after doing some digging it was a post on here and he had rtlsdr in his settings so I tried it it never made a difference. I have put it back as it should be with the same problem I have the antenna set to RX is that correct

ok i think its started working in the sense it up loaded data thanks all

BG8DIV · July 9, 2020, 5:40am

Hello! I have the same problem. How do you do it? thank you

waydenie · October 2, 2020, 8:49pm

Similarly, I seem to be having the same issue, I think… To OP, do you know what you changed to correct it in your case?

I originally had straight “rtlsdr” set, but have since reconfig’d to “driver=rtlsdr” and waiting for my next scheduled observation to see if that changes anything for me…

I also have antenna:RX from the start…
