Hello Everyone,
My UHF station failed and I pulled it into my shop for a refresh this weekend. I loaded the current Satnogs distribution and configured it. I loaded the SoapyRemote Server and used CubicSDR on another machine to determine the correct gain. I can see signals using CubicSDR, but when I schedule a pass, the ground station isn’t uploading any data.
Here is the setup information

}
I also installed and configured the Satnogs-Monitor on this station. I verifies the scheduled passes and tracks them fine, but doesn’t display a waterfall when the bird is overhead.
I would appreciate any troubleshooting suggestions…
