No output when checking with 'telnet'

[haraldhh]

Hi, if I understood the help-section correctly running 'rtl_ais -nT' should produce a TCP-server that's listening on port 10110 and it should print out NMEA-sentences on both STDERR and the TCP-port.

However, if I telnet the port I get no output? Is this correct, I was expecting the exact same AIVDM line on the console and over the TCP-connection?

HI Harald The server will show you received sentences briefly so you can get them and then the socket closes. That´s because it was coded to be compatible with OpenCPN that works that way. Some time (years now) ago, there was a request similar to yours, and Mik3y added that functionality. You can look at their repository here; that should fulfill your needs: https://github.com/mik3y/rtl-ais. Look for the -k option. I didn't merge that code with the main branch, because the code is incompatible with Windows. If at some point I found time to port the changes or make conditional compiling, I'll be glad to merge the code, maybe some other programmer could do it too. Regards, David

Thank You! I will look into that. I think Navionics keep the connection open, so will have to try that with Navionics and see how that behaves.
