I am trying to set up my DVB-T Dongle in 0.15.1 to support AIS in OpenCPN. I went to the marina this evening to hook everything up.
The GPS works great and is plugged into the same powered hub as the DVB-T dongle.
I know the DVB-T dongle is getting recognized because here is the output from lsusb

I was able to perform the calibration and came up with the following values for gain and PPM
I have Channel A 161.975M selected
Gain = 49.6
Correction (ppm) = -16
I'm not sure whether the correction should be a negative number, but thats what the calibration tool spit out? I tried running it a time earlier and Correction (PPM) was around 5.2. I'm using the included antenna that came with the dongle and was in the Harbor right by San Diego Bay so I thought that I should be able to see an AIS target in the marina on OpenCPN, but nothing came up after enabling AIS monitoring.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
