I'm not a programmer, just a tinkerer...

Hi, I've had the same symptoms and solved it by modifying the rtlsdr.service file.

`[Service] ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "rtl_tcp -a $(hostname -I) -p PORTNUM"

WorkingDirectory=/home/USERNAME

StandardOutput=inherit

StandardError=inherit

Restart=always

RestartSec=3`

Remove usr/bin from the first line check the home directory with PWD command and change the USERNAME field also, Input RestartSec=3 to the last [Service] line

If your symptoms are the same as mine, you can fix them with some modifications.

Thanks for the tip!...I'll give it a try...Jim
