Hi There - I recently set up SatNOGS on my RaPI 3+, station 4260, and I -think- it is working. But how do I see a waterfall plot, or set my gain? I have CubicSDR on my MacBook, and am looking for something similar for the RaPi.
Thx!!
Mike
This is the waterfall made by your station: SatNOGS Network - Observation 12329567 and indeed this looks ok.
Looking at the meta data I see there is no gain value set.
Run sudo satnogs-setup -> Advanced -> Radio -> SATNOGS_RF_GAIN and set a value.
For the RTLSDR the following values are possible:
Supported gain values (29): 0.0 0.9 1.4 2.7 3.7 7.7 8.7 12.5 14.4 15.7 16.6 19.7 20.7 22.9 25.4 28.0 29.7 32.8 33.8 36.4 37.2 38.6 40.2 42.1 43.4 43.9 44.5 48.0 49.6
What value to choose is determined by many variable, for example if you are using a LNA yes or no. Have a look at the SatNOGS SDR Wiki for more details.
