My station (no rotator) was running fine using stretch and client v1.0, but I wanted to get the latest software running on my system and buster is recommended. So I follow the wiki, burn a new image and install satnogs client, but I pick up problems. I look at troubleshooting as described on wiki, but no luck so far. Also searched the forum and no luck.
I don’t get any waterfalls and I think it has to do with the sample rate setting. I tried 2.048e6 and 2048000. The values below recommended for sample rates are soundcard settings?
This is the my “support information”

This was the metadata from the observation
and great work. PS give 
he is enjoying this way too much
