hello,
I m trying to use the packet sniffing feature with a Lora tracker sending data to a local lora GW but I don't any packet being sniffed.

(base) seller@MBP-de-Seller rnodeconfigutil % loramon /dev/tty.usbserial-D307GM8R –freq 868100000 –bw 125000 –sf 11 –cr 5 -C -W loracapture

but even though I can see from the gw console that some packets are sent with those parameters, it doesn’t show up on the console (nor to the specified location).
I have updated the FW . I can see the device flashing blue from time to time.

Any idea what might be the problem?

thanks,

It would be very good if the software could also handle the unit prefixes for the frequency. Some systems have a maximum length of characters on the commandline, with many chained commands it can be so tight. With MHz you could get some characters back. So I would suggest that you should be able to write 868000000 also as 868M.

maybe https://github.com/cfobel/si-prefix could help you there

Many thanks in advance
