PITS Not Working HELP

OK so I have replaced my PiZero with a PiZero2 and Pi Camera. I tried to get the camera working but it was not recognised.
A suggested fix was to re-image the card so I downloaded the latest Jessie Lite flashed the image and went through the whole PITS installation again (I did not however remove the PITS board).

When I finally rebooted the Pi the tracker kicked in but a get a single band in dl-fldigi and a high pitched noise?

When looking at the tracker output in terminal the text is scrolling very fast compared to sending a telemetry string every second it is now sending about 20 a second!!

What I have I done?? Do I need to disconnect the Pi and reflash the image and install pits again!! Supposed to be doing a final comms test tomorrow :-(

Have a read of the installation instructions, which were updated 2-3 weeks ago to take into account changes to serial port handling in Raspbian.

Dave;

I did post a reply saying that I was following the pits manual however after looking at the Pi In The Sky Page Installing an SD Card From Scratch. (Which I had followed before). It would appear that you guys have updated it as you have mentioned. The pits manual has not yet been amended so that's what was throwing me :-(

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

P.S. Why do I need Lora?

Lora question (and my understanding) in another post.

PiZero / PITS / Camera - now all working fine - many thanks (Breaths a HUGE sigh of relief)
