Hi,
Since many day, I realized that my station is sometime following a satellite (the rotator is moving) while there are no observations scheduled. Sometimes also a real observation is planned and then it follows 2 satellites at the same time, which doesn’t work very well.
This seems to me to be a serious problem
Sure, there it is

Can you point to an observation on the Network that did that?
I would have to guess 2647033… and the behavior he describes is indicative of the zombie gr process issue we’ve been hunting down in my client. /cc @Acinonyx
Hi @pierros @cshields
Unfortunately I hadn’t noted the time and the day it happened and so I can’t find the observation(s). That’s not this one SatNOGS Network - Observation 2647033
The whole series of failures on my station comes from a problem with the usb cable that doesn’t hold well on my rtlsdr.
Well, that was quick
It happened on two obs, the two ops are failed

https://network.satnogs.org/observations/2697613/
Seems like a stuck observation issue. Try rebooting and updating fully your station please.
