 4. It's not recommended to use the default user "pi" and the default password "raspberry". While it is not
 recommended that you expose a Pi instance to the public internet for access (unless you have a VERY strict process about security
 patching, and even then it would still be questionable), updating your Pi user password is a decent first step for security.

+# Setting SDR Device ID
+
+Good news - If you are using more than 1 SDR Dongle in your RN2 configuration and you wish to assign a particular SDR Dongle/Antenna pair to a satellite, you can!
+
+  Work flow:
+
+    #1 - Assign a unique serial # to each RTL-SDR Dongle that you wish to specitically assign to a satellite  
+    #2 - Update settings.yml 
+    #3 - Execute install_and_upgrade.sh
+    #4 - After the scheduled job executes for the satellite you assigned a unique device id to, confirm correct device ID was used.
+
+  These example instructions are for RTL-SDR Dongles. 
+
+  Step #1 - Assign a unique serial # to each RTL-SDR Dongle
+
+     RTL Serial# programmed into the SDR and the sdr_device_id in settings.yml must not have any leading ZERO's.  
+     The serial number must be no more than 8 characters and it must be an integer and must not have any leading ZERO's.
+     
+For example it can be **0** or it can be set as high as **99999999**     It cannot have leading ZERO's **00007777**
+
+
+Check currect serial# of installed SDR Dongle's

+  	0:  RTLSDRBlog, Blog V4, SN: 00000001
+  	1:  RTLSDRBlog, Blog V4, SN: 00000001
+
+Change the SDR serial #, when prompted, select 'y' to change
+Since our SDR Device ID's must fall between 0-99999999  For this example we will update both SDR Dongles with serial #'s 1 & 2,
+so remove all but the one of the SDR's whose serial # you want to update before running rtl_eeprom utility.

+In settings.yml you must to enable use_device_string
+
+	use_device_string: true
+
+For each satellite that you want to assign a specific device id for, you must update its respective value. 
+
+	Example only...
+ 	noaa_15_sdr_device_id: 1
+	noaa_18_sdr_device_id: 1
+	noaa_19_sdr_device_id: 1
+
+	meteor_m2_3_sdr_device_id: 2
+	meteor_m2_4_sdr_device_id: 2
+ 
+
+  Step #3 - Execute install_and_upgrade.sh
+
+	cd ${HOME}/raspberry-noaa-v2
+	./install_and_upgrade.sh
+
+  Step #4 - After the scheduled job executes for the satellite you assigned a unique device id to, confirm that the correct device ID was used.
+
+       
+	view /var/log/raspberry-noaa-v2/output.log
+
+Search for source_id by typing `/source_id`   with each repeating forward `/` you type it should search through the file for occurances.
+
+Here you can see satdump saw both serial #1 & serial #2, since I set NOAA 15 to use Serial #1, that is what it used for source_id : "1"
