I installed an RTL-SDR USB and have connected a an antenna, but the one that came with it - not a marine VHF antenna.
In OpenCPN I can see a couple of base stations, one 7.3NM away and 16.1 NM away.
I don’t think these were on the map previously but my question is - Does OpenCPN (ver 4.8.4) use the Internet and the SDR for AIS info?
I know there are a few boats closer than those base stations but I cannot see them. The two base stations are both south of me and the boats are north. It is pretty built up to the north of me
Pi ver 3B, OP ver 1.0.0 alpha
