OpenWebRX

Hello to all. Just had a revelation. My self and a lot of fellow chat followers have being having the same problem with lora not decoding anything. Have invested some time and effort in resolving this issue. Even installed Ubuntu and docker container image. Just to find out the problem was the sample rate on my rtl-sdr. Lowered it from 2.4 MHz to 2 MHz and it worked !!

7200kHz is certifiably nuts.
