I do know the data from vessels isn't always consistent, and I from time to time I have had to wait 5-10 minutes before I have picked up any vessels, this is especially true when vessels are at anchor. If you feel the problem is with OpenCPN then open up your browser and try http://localhost:3000/@signalk/freeboard-sk/ I can see vessels here so if you have vessels in freeboard but you don't see any in OpenCPN you know where to try next.
I don't know what your using for an antenna but from my experience with my own SDR the antenna and cable was the most important piece of the kit after the receiver, I went from getting one vessel 200 metres away to getting dozens up to 40 Nm with a good antenna.
Good luck

Only those who go too far can possibly tell you how far one can go
