Now that I have a reliable USB hub I thought I'd try my DVB device as an AIS receiver. I went through the calibration steps and came up with a correction of around -50.
I've enabled AIS reception. I was previously using an external USB receiver via a serial USB so I disabled that. However, I have no idea how to 'see'/use the AIS stream. The NMEA window shows no mention of it. And there's no AIS data on the kplex tcp port. Have i missed a step somewhere? Clearly the device is working else the calibration wouldn't work. It's a 130 mile round trip to the boat to be able to receive some AIS signals so I'd like to have a plan to resolve it next time.
