Observation 14220701: NOAA-2 (6235)

hello @cammybwammy welcome first!

all noaa sat was decommisioned. so i recommend to make new obs for another sats.

i see at your metadata data:
image

gain is null. try put higher number there:

SATNOGS_RF_GAIN= 36.4

this will boost your sdr gain

for RTL-SDR adapter, supported gain values: 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
