Station 1069 after update problem

Hi,
from yesterday I’m trying to run again my station. Two month’s ego I changed the SD card in my RPi to try something else. Now I trying to go back to satNOGS but have problems after update. When I run my old SD img (satNOGS 0.9.1) it works.

After running

  1. sudo apt update and then sudo apt upgrade
  2. sudo satnogs-setup and update as in (https://wiki.satnogs.org/SatNOGS_Client_Setup)
  3. sudo satnogs-setup becouse not all old settings ware transferred to new version.
    I get observations without waterfall (see http://network.satnogs.org/observations/3561693/)

I tried to make fresh SD with downloaded img but have the same symptoms. This needs to be something in settings and not the hardware because version 0.9.1 works.

systemctl status satnogs-client on the old, updated SD shows:

I’m using RTL-SDR v3 and tried several values in SATNOGS_RX_SAMP_RATE: 2.048e6 (as in wiki), 2.048, 2048000

In /tmp/.satnogs/data/ I have only Incomplete and it is empty

What could be wrong?
For sure it is something easy and basic but my RPi skills are poor.
Please help

Can you paste the support output (sudo satnogs-setup -> advanced -> support). Without this it’s very difficult to figure out if you have a setting wrong.

No need, I found it :slight_smile:
In SATNOGS_SOAPY_RX_DEVICE was “-” instead of “=” (driver=rtlsdr)
As I wrote, basic mistake.
Thanks
