RTL-SDR V4 Driver

[Tom60]

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 recently bought one. 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!

A little old but thought I'd toss out this. I have both V3 and V4. I could get the Initial PPM to work on both but searching though ALL(6?) channel selections 2 to 3 times and I got nothing on my V4 dongle, plugging the V3 dongle into the same set up(system and antenna). V3 worked fine(only found 2 channels though so maybe weak signals?) And I have AIS working though Openplotter 4.X.. On a Pi 5.
