More SDR tools like gqrx will be added soon.

AIS reception features are:

- Both AIS channels reception with just one SDR device.
- Custom output UDP port.
- Automatic Signal K connection.
- Multiple SDR devices supported.
- Editable SDR device serials.
- Tools for calibration.

To install SDR VHF app you will need openplotter-settings 2.3.0. Please report bugs here.

No Reception yet.

After setting the band to gsm900 and Channel 13. If I do edit again the settings for this items are again empty.

I also get a kernel bug.

It would be nice to see the Ais objects here in my office.

• Select a device
  
• Click "Initial PPM" to get an approach to your ppm value. The longer you let the program calculate the better result you will get. If you run the program for hours you will get almost the final ppm but if you do not have time just wait for the value to stabilize.
  
• Close the program and put the result into the PPM field.
  
• Select the GSM band for your zone and try to get the strongest channel clicking "Get Channel".
     
  

• Put the strongest channel into "Channel" field and press "Get PPM". Put the result into the PPM field again rounding the value without decimals and you are done.
  
• Provide a UDP port to send AIS data to (default 10110). A Signal K connection will be created for that UDP port.

Thanks for your hard work on this.

Then I installed the application from Synaptic. No error with the installation. Switched on the Ais application.

It seems to be working. But looking at the "sudo systemctl status openplotter-rtl_ais.service". There the outcome is displayed as "disabled". Switched the autostrart on and rebooted the system. Now the message is "enabled" . However I have not seen any objects passing by. But perhaps there are no ships here at rhe moment.

Then I did the same thing on my RPI4 with the V8 kernel. All seems to work. Message enabled.

But in the end i get the message:

Detected Kernel usbfs nmap () bug. falling back to buffers in userspace.

what was the missing file in your AMD?

That is the expected behavior for enable/disable status

You need to provide the correct ppm to see AIS blanks and to have some ship around of course

I can not help with errors with beta kernel because we use only stable kernels to develop
