Thank you Holger. I run htop and found no SDR VHF processes running. I looked under OpenCPN 5.8.0 Connections and all I see is the USB GPS. Under Serial 3.2.0 there's only the USB GPS listed. Using lsusb I can see that both the USB GPS and the USB RTL_SDR are plugged in.
So I tried to re-calibrate the SDR VHF as I do have access to those options. The PPM is now -127 from the original -7. Wierd. Is this normal? Anyhow after doing that the Connections under SDR VHF show that the AIS entry is ACTIVE! Hooray! But not for long I can't see any AIS targets on the OpenCPN screen. Am I missing a step? I still see no new connections under OpenCPN or Serial despite that the AIS process is running.
Totally confused!
