Figured this out. Set gain to '0'. Pics coming in now. |

I am perplexed by the lack of Satellite images and high PPM values, I've been through every support document I can find, watched multiple youtube videos and browsed the github and sicord channels, to no avail.
All software and functionality seems to be working as it should with the exception that I'm not seeing any actual Satellite data on my map overlays.
Can provide images as a follow-up.
Hardware:
Note: I have previously used this set-up for years and had great results, but wanted to upgrade the software to
raspberry-noaa-v2 for its many features.
Problem:
Steps Taken:
-Fresh sd image of raspberry-noaa-v2 installed, all applicable settings for timezone, lat/lon, hardware setup made (all working perfect)
-Config File Changes:
-Changed the minimum elevation values of each desired satellite to 30'
-Increased gain values of each desired satellite to 40.2
-Limited scheduling and capture to NOAA 15, 18, 19
-Ran both ./scripts/schedule_and_update.sh and ./scripts/schedule.sh -x then rebooted
-Checked antenna functionality by running test scripts for FM broadcast stations (can clearly hear stations)
-Results of >rtl_test clearly show SDR device present...
-Found 1 device(s):
0: Realtek, RTL2838UHIDIR, SN: 00000001
-Results of 'rlt_test -p'...Is it normal to show such high PPM values?

-I do know from previous experience with running scans that I have some nearby cell tower RF noise, however I have always recieved
data from NOAA satellites.
