Is it possible there's interference from the new board somehow? How far away is your antenna? Any chance you changed it's position or orientation?

The Raspberry Pi and the antenna are in the same position as before. The only other difference is that I'm using NVMe memory instead of the previous SSD. I'm using the original 27W power supply. But if there's interference, why do I get data from the WH32, which is much further from the antenna, and not from the WH1080? Could the backup I restored from from Raspberry 4 to 5 have caused problems?

giuian69 avatar Oct 22 '25 12:10 giuian69

I have removed the nvme drive and have installed the system on the previous SSD but the problem is the same...

Perhaps double check to make sure your rtl_433.conf files were restored?

Another thing to do would be to boot up Raspbian directly, and run rtl_433 directly. If the data shows up, at least then you could rule out the hardware changes.

Yes the file is present and the addon respond to changes.

I will try with Raspbian. Perhaps you can recommend a better SDR dongle? or a tested SDR dongle with raspberry 5??

Sorry, I don't have any of the 5's. I did find that things on my Pi zero got way better with this Sabrent USB hub: https://amazon.ca/dp/B00TPMEOYM

I have two of the Nooelec dongles. I had a third that was doing USB disconnects and I replaced it with a RTL Blog SDR v4. That's seemed pretty solid, and I'll say I like the antenna and case it shipped with better.
