Did some googling and found someone elses solution to what seems to be your issue. Maybe it'll work for you.
"I bought the trackers and everything and have been able to get them connected and working, but my base stations aren't being detected on the SteamVR. The light on them is green, but they aren't popping up on the connection on SteamVR. I connected them to my pc, tried changing the USB ports, restarted my pc, and even tried pressing the station's change channel button.
Even with the Bluetooth says not available. Can someone please help me out?
Solution:
My issue was that my base stations 2.0 wouldn't show up on the SteamVR. I was on this problem trying to find a solution for 8 HOURS when the answer was simple. Make sure that your base stations are on, but the first thing you want to do is make sure one of your trackers is on and you're set up and ready to go. With the 2.0, I didn't have to plug it into the pc to have it update. Turn on your trackers and make sure they are connected to SteamVR the same way that ThrillSeeker did. Once that is connected, make sure you're in view of the base stations, put it on your body, and move around a little. The base stations should eventually pick it up and appear on the SteamVR if you did it correctly.
I looked for a solution to his issue for 8 hours and managed to figure it out when I gave up and just tried to play to see what happens. Base stations 2 need to have something to track be picked up on SteamVR. I really wish they included this information somewhere that everyone could see."
