RTL-SDR Restarting (cycling)

I am running MarineTraffic AIS station but experiencing a performance issue due to RTL-SDR restarting/cycling.I’m using the Kepler Balena AIS station GitHub repository.

The diagnostic log presents the following issue:

check_service_rtl-sdr Failed User service ‘rtl-Sdr’ is restarting unexpectedly, count: 45

Assistance for a newbie will be grateful

Thank you
