+
+There has been various reports of SDRPlay devices "failing" out of the blue on certain setups, without any obvious problems. Typically, the problem can be resolved temporarily by a restart of OpenWebRX, but will re-appear at a later point. The analysis shows that for reasons unknown to us, the startup of SDRPlay devices seems is somewhat unpredictably unreliable, and since OpenWebRX will shut down SDR devices when they are not in use, this can occur pretty much at any time.
+
+The workaround to this issue is to set the `always-on` config option to `True` the device level:
+```
+"always-on": True
+```
+
+Please refer to the ["Configuration" section](https://github.com/jketterl/openwebrx/wiki/SDR-device-and-profile-configuration#always-on) for further details.

 # RSPDuo: Using both tuners simultaneously
 
 This should be possible using the API version 3, but I haven't been able to get it to work yet.
