Thanks @bali totally forgot it is a bool type.

So indeed the string should be driver=rtlsdr,biastee=true

SUCCESS! The bias tee power turned on for a satellite observation. I notice that it doesn’t turn off at the end of the observation, so the LNA will be constantly powered. Is that an issue?

Last question, what is the recommended RTL-SDR V4 RF Gain setting?

that is good news.

That the LNA stays activated isn’t an issue.

My RTL-SDR ↔ LNA station uses 36.4

Thanks, everyone. Now I will move the system back outside for some observations.
