You could open a terminal and manually run the apt-get command as provided in the screenshot with the additional --allow-downgrade option. That could bring the desired flowgraphs package. And try again the satnogs setup afterwards.

Thank you pieira, That did seem to work as you stated.

I tried some more observations but still not getting any data (failed) waterfall.

I tried the two test in troubleshooting sections, rtl_test and satnogs_afsk1200_ax25.py --soapy-rx-device=“driver=rtlsdr” --antenna=RX --samp-rate-rx=2.048e6 --rx-freq=444000000 --file-path=./audio-out.ogg --waterfall-file-path=./waterfall.dat

both seem to work.

Are there any further troubleshooting steps I should follow?

@kd2lbu This was caused by an issue in satnogs-setup which should be fixed now.

You can either try to fix your station by updating it via satnogs-setup again, or in case this fails start over by downloading a fresh image. This new image was tested and released yesterday and shouldn’t have the issue you encountered.
