Why dongles serialization doesn't work?

[T-Shilov]

Hello dear Jakob!

I am using OpenWebRX 0.19.1 and Debian10 / 64.

I have several dongles. For some unknown reason, they sometimes spontaneously change places on the bands. To fix this, I flashed their serial numbers:

Serial number: 00000001 Serial number: 00000002 ......................................... Serial number: 00000006

and included them in the config file:

.............................................................
sdrs = {

    "rtlsdr_1": {
        "name": "Ch1:",
        "type": "rtl_sdr",
        "ppm": 0,
        "antenna": "Collinear Dual Band",
        "profiles": {
            "10m": {
                "device": "serial=00000001",
                "name": "28 MHz",
                "center_freq": 28000000,
                "rf_gain": 8.7,
                "samp_rate": 2400000,
                "start_freq": 27175000,
                "start_mod": "nfm",
            },
        },
    },

    "rtlsdr_2": {
        "name": "Ch2:",
        "type": "rtl_sdr",
        "ppm": 0,
        "antenna": "Collinear Dual Band",
        "rf_gain": 1.4,
        "profiles": {
            "2m": {
                "device": "serial=00000002",
                "name": "145 MHz",
                "center_freq": 145000000,
                "samp_rate": 2400000,
                "start_freq": 145725000,
                "start_mod": "nfm",
            },
        },
    },

.................................................

    "rtlsdr_6": {
        "name": "Ch6:",
        "type": "rtl_sdr",
        "ppm": 0,
        "antenna": "Collinear Dual Band",
        "profiles": {
            "70cm": {
                "device": "serial=00000006",
                "name": "446 MHz",
                "center_freq": 446000000,
                "rf_gain": "33.8",
                "samp_rate": 2400000,
                "start_freq": 446000000,
                "start_mod": "nfm",
            },
        },
    },
}

However, this does not work because an error occurs:

"This receiver is currently unavailable due to technical issues. Error Message: No SDR Devices available"

Why does this error occur?

If this is a question, this is the wrong place to ask. If this is a bug report, use the issue template!

[T-Shilov]

Yes, that sounds like a question. Sorry, but I don't know where to ask this, so I asked in Issue. Jacob, tell me, please, how to ask a question correctly?

T-Shilov, you should write a letter to openwebrx@groups.io to ask question. I didn't know about it at the beginning too )))
