RTL-SDR V4 Driver - Tom60 - 2023-09-08
I recently purchased an RTL-SDR usb dongle from RTL-SDR Blog to use as an AIS receiver with OpenPlotter. It's a version 4 (V4) model. The RTL-SDR Blog website User Guide for the new V4 dongle (https://www.rtl-sdr.com/v4/) provides instructions for installing drivers.
Using OpenPlotter V3 I can't obtain any Channels when attempting to calibrate the dongle. This might be due to my antenna or perhaps the OpenPlotter RTL-SDR drivers need to be updated?
Does anyone have a V4 dongle that works with OpenPlotter V3?
Thanks
Tom

I was struggling in OpenPlotter on RaspberryPi. I did try on Windows using their install guide and SDR# and things seem to work. I followed their guide on updating the Debian drivers on Linux, but same behavior in OpenPlotter. I'll try again and let you know if any progress. Please do the same!
