Transmissions not read after hop

[Jocala]

rtl_433 version 23.11, linux mint, RTL-SDR Blog V4.

command: /usr/local/bin/rtl_433 -H 120 -f 433M -f 915M -C customary

I'm attempting to read a LaCrosse-TX141THBv2 temp sensor at 433M and a LaCrosse LTV-Pool-INT (TFA-Marbella) pool thermometer at 915M. I can read either separately, but when I attempt to hop between the two frequencies I get multiple:

bitbuffer_add_bit: Warning: row count limit (50 rows) reached.

Reception seems to cease after this.

That's not an error but just a waring that noise looks like data and then exceeds the reasonable amount of data to read. Perhaps levels are not ideal. Add -Y autolevel -Y magest -M level -M noise and check what noise and level readings you get.

I'm obviously a noob, thanks for looking at this.

rtl_433 -Y autolevel -Y magest -M level -M noise -H 120 -f 433M -f 915M -C customary

With this command-line I get:

[Auto Level] Current noise level -2.5 dB, estimated noise -2.7 dB [repeats] [Auto Level] Estimated noise level is -27.5 dB, adjusting minimum detection level to -24.5 dB [Auto Level] Current noise level -27.9 dB, estimated noise -27.9 dB [repeats]

First transmission received:

Integrity : CRC Modulation: FSK Freq1 : 915.0 MHz Freq2 : 915.0 MHz RSSI : -12.9 dB SNR : 15.9 dB Noise : -28.8 dB

bitbuffer_add_bit: Warning: row count limit (50 rows) reached [repeats]

I never see a transmission from the LaCrosse-TX141THBv2.

A noise level below -20 dB is good, that noise level close to 0 dB is a jammed band or recpetion problems. What change do you see when hopping occurs? Use -v to get hopping notifications.

@Jocala : can you try 433.92M instead of 433M

Calling this a probably answered question, unless the submitter would like to respond/restate/etc.
