Value RSSI1 and RSSI2 give information, if there are any interferers on
the AIS frequencies, which may be caused by a faulty electrical device. If
there is none, the status will be OK.
If the self diagnostic of the easyRX noticed any fault, a sort notice will
be given in the tables. The easyRX executes a self test every 30 sec. So
each fault or warning report has got a countdown of 1 min. This means
the report disappears from the table, when the fault is no longer valid
after 1 min.

AIS receiving data
On the tab “Received Data” you can see a list of current received AIS
data. By using the drop down menu “data columns” you can blank out
columns.
Because the static data report is send every 6 min you have to wait for
at least 15 min to see ship names referring to the listed AIS data. If AIS
targets are too far away, it might take even more time of receiving the
complete data or of receiving nothing, because the vessel has disap-
peared.
3.4
SD Card Recorder
The tab “SD Card” shows the status quo of the SD recording. “Ready for
logging” is given if a well formatted SD Card is inserted.
The easyRX is using the FAT format. If the SD Card has got another for-
mat, you have to format it again with the easyRX. It’s because the device
is storing a special set of files, which enable real time storing of AIS and
GPS data.
