Good intro. and there is much more to getting it to actually work to a point a Skipper trusts it.I will persevere; in harbor, there is usually no hard wired land LAN connection, which is assumed in so many "install software" type videos. An RJ45 connection is like GOLD to a Cruiser.(yes, so is ICE) . Those of us that sail the seas, we accept these factors, in trade for Freedom, always. But its great to have instruments when they work....i will keep on hackin !
With 26 seconds left in the video you add a connection under the options tab: where does one get that information? I want to hook up a sdr but where do you get the data that gets entered (address, data port, etc)?
No you need an AIS transponder ($700 plus), which needs to be registered with the appropriate authorities, and this requires your license number for VHF. So you need a radio license to transmit your position. (Which mean a radio course fee and the license fee). Very expensive to transmit a position via a radio frequency.
Great job on explaining!! Look forward to more! Thank you!

0:25 Listening is all cool but can it also send?

I found it odd too... very detailed and then just brushes over the end.
I don't see SDR VHF in the list. Only SDR AIS "coming soon". does this mean that all the parts I bought won't work now?
Check also BBN Marine OS for raspberry pi4. Many free and opensource boat software packages preinstalled and preconfigured.
Can you transmit your AIS position through this arrangement?

this sounds like a computer talking....i'd rather listen to a human!
