I am pulling some hair out on this one. I installed v1.24 now. I have two SDR RX's, RSP1A and RTL dongle, both are listed in the SDR setup menu, and I can select anyone of the two. I get audio from a passing satellite on my speakers but no waterfall display inside Skyroof.

I played with the new waterfall display controls just below the word Waterfall, no effect. Enable, disable nothing gets me a waterfall display. Sample from log file attached.

Maybe you have RF Gain set to zero? Sdrplay has its gain scale reversed, 0 is max, 100 is min.

Please send the whole log file, the piece you have included does not show the waterfall part.

Thanks Alex

Very best for 2026 to you.

Attached is a longer log file. Did try RF gain between 0 and 100 for both SDR's.

Thanks

There is no indication of any problems with the waterfall in the log, sorry. All looks good, both signal processing and visualization, so the cause of the problem is unknown.
