AIS support
AIS (Automatic Identification System) is used to track ships and other marine vessels at sea.
Again a nice contribution of Jon srcejon. AIS is supported with 3 new plugins:
- AIS demodulator to decode AIS messages. See here
- AIS feature to collate data from several AIS demodulators. See here. AIS is broadcast globally on 25kHz channels at 161.975MHz and 162.025MHz. This way you can combine data coming from two AIS demodulators centered on these frequencies. The position of ships can be shown on a map thanks to the Map feature
- AIS modulator: you can play with it or test equipment on close circuit. You need a license to use AIS on air. If you have an amateur radio license you can experiment with AIS on amateur radio bands. See here
PRs #891, #895 and #896 for first implementation (v6.12.0) and fixes.
