Ive had 2 receivers working off a splitter on my 1090 antenna for… 6 months or so.
yesterday I got a notice there was no data coming on 30005. Checked status and both receivers were down. So I rebooted. nothing
rtl_test -t no receivers. weird. unplugged everything and rebooted. finally I was able to plug in 1 receiver and get dump1090-fa /piaware working. whew, streak saved!
but since then Im unable to get my other receiver working.

any ideas or tests I can run?
I checked both receivers on a 2nd PI running piaware and both run without issue so hardware is ok.
