Updated openpotter-sdr-vhf v4 adding "Share with AIS-catcher" option.
Push to github done.
I am testing this now with an SDR device and I am impressed. AIS-catcher is a real game-changer.
Thank you all.
NOTE: If you are in the US, you are lucky because the AIS-catcher web viewer even has the NOAA charts overlayed.

I am afraid not:
"If you're interested in sharing but are not using AIS-catcher, please contact us at jvde-github at gmail.com for assistance in connecting through a dedicated UDP port."
If you are transmitting with Maiana, you will probably already appear in the marinetraffic web viewer.

Edit Reason: problem fixed by password reset
)
Weird thing has happened..
I got the usual notification "updates are available" but when I attempt to install updates it asks for authentication.
I accept "pi" as identity and enter "raspberry" as the Password, click OK and it gives me an error "Authentication failed! Wrong password?"
I can't see how or why I could have possibly changed it from "raspberry".
Has anyone else come across this one ?
Thanks
edit:- reset it now and all is good but it must have been corrupted somehow??

Quick question on the SDR changes. I'm using a Pi 5 with the starter load. My old SDR died, so I just bought a new RTL-SDR V4 device. If I run the calibration, I get a good -7 for initial PPM offset. When I try to run it on the GSM 850 band (I'm in Maryland), all I get are messages of:
[R82XX] PLL not locked!
[R82XX] PLL not locked!
[R82XX] PLL not locked!
[R82XX] PLL not locked!
[R82XX] PLL not locked!
for every channel.
The RTL-SDR website says that you need different drivers for the V4 model, but if you follow their Debian procedures, the SDR-VHF software in uninstalled. I've checked for the latest software, run apt, done the things I could think of. Is there something else that needs to be done, is this a bad SDR, any thoughts or suggestions?
