The dual channel receiver was sending data that bitcoind wasn’t recognizing as block data. But the basestation data continued working uninterrupted. 

It’s all working fine now, but since I run arch Linux, I can’t participate in the blocksat-cli —monitor system. I have to setup a vm to do this…and that’s a little tricky for me…but I know I can do it…keeping it booting is the tricky part. 

Maybe I need to abandon arch.
