Record WAV file

[wanters]

Whether there is a plan to add the function of admitting WAV files？
Because I see there is a parse input WAV file.

You can already read wav files indeed (which you record with SDR# for example) and there is no plan to add recording to WAV files to the program. It is not that difficult though.

Is the question to write the raw radio signal before AIS decoding to a WAV file? On Raspberry/Linux recording can be quite easily be done with the rtl_sdr utility, so try to understand the use case and how frequently it will be used?

Oh, all right! If there is one more way to record the WAV file, this may enrich the project, and the recorded WAV file can be used by other SDR software, which is a desirable thing. It is recommended to join the program.

Ok, it is on the list to add, might take some time though.

Hi Jasper, please help. How do I use a recorded WAV file in AIS-catcher. I want to use it instead of a RTL-sdr dongle for test purposes. I have a pre-recorded ais-WAV file that I can use. If possible could you reply to [email protected] many thanks

Hi Richard, you can read in WAV files with:

AIS-catcher -w filename

But note that the file needs to be an IQ recording at 162 MHz, i.e. with two channels. Something that SDR# records for example. Give it a try and let me know if it does not work and feel free to email to follow up.
