I started the reception on Ubuntu 22.04 with a nooelec smarttee.

hrf1@hrf1:~/sniff/iridium$ iridium-extractor -D 4 rtl-sdr.conf | grep "A:OK" > output.bits

i get

Although data is received and written, the output.bits file created is empty

hrf1@hrf1:~/sniff/iridium$ ls -l

results in

total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 hrf1 hrf1 0 Dez 7 11:44 output.bits -rw-r--r-- 1 hrf1 hrf1 0 Dez 7 11:26 output.parsed

What might be the problem? Thank you

I removed the grep "A:OK"

command, and then the file will be written correctly.
