Regarding Observation 161885 … lowering my sample rate to 250k surly helped to make the observation close to the intended length (old https://network.satnogs.org/observations/155748/ observation was only above 100s for 1e6 sample rate). Seems my Rpi2 is suffering under the load. Don’t think I can make the sample rate lower than that, looking at the options available for the rtlsdr. 250k also created interference on CUTE-1 signal. Still “striving” for my first decode.
Looks as if your RF gain is too high.
