Watching marine traffic (was: Re: [yaac-users] What a coooooool tool!!!)


 

Jamie,

The capability of AIS tracking in YAAC already exists. You will need to use DireWolf 1.7 or later, configured to use the AIS modem instead of the AX.25 packet modem, and connect it to a radio capable of tuning the appropriate VHF marine channels and providing direct discriminator tap-off for wide-bandwidth audio (all of this is written up in documentation provided with DireWolf). Then in YAAC, you install the AISDecoder plugin, and connect YAAC to the AIS-configured instance of DireWolf the same way you would to an AX.25-configured DireWolf instance using a AGWPE or KISS-over-TCP port type. Received marine vessel transmissions will now be mapped into map objects conceptually the same way ADS-B frames are mapped to aircraft symbols, and a new choice on the View menu will display a tabular list of all tracked vessels.

There is no reason (other than the amount of memory, CPU power, and USB connections on your computer) why you can't use the ADSB plugin and the AIS plugin simultaneously.

Hope this helps.

I need to find out how to track marine traffic and then see if Andrew might add that plug in. I know that APRS.fi has it but that requires internet.?

Thank to you all and thanks again Andrew!
