Hi Varnak,
The dAISy software does change the channel every so often. The code for switching between the channels start at line 329 in packet_handler.c
https://github.com/astuder/dAISy/blob/master/packet_handler.c#L329
The receiver will switch to the other channel when the state is PH_RESET, which is the case after an error, successful message, or when there is no start of message within PH_SYNC_TIMEOUT (defined in line 27) clock ticks (one tick being 1/9600 second). Statistically, it will miss at least 50% of the message as it can only listen on one channel at a time.

Adrian

Hi Adrian! I was in St. Petersburg, recorded the AIS broadcast and was surprised when I played it on the second frequency 162.025 at home ... it works too!))) But WDS is set to 161.975. Do you programmatically switch channels by RSSI level and after what time? If you can tell me where in the program it is. I'm not a programmer at all. Here's a video of how your dAISy looks at me))

Hi Varnak,
I just pushed a configuration file for WDS 3.2.11 that I had laying around. I haven't tested it, so not sure if it works as is.

FYI: dAISy works in Direct RX mode. Unfortunately, the built-in packet handler of the radio IC does not work with AIS.

The Si4463 is backward compatible, as long as the chips have the same revision (B1 in this case).
The pin out depends on the breakout board that you use for your project. I don't have a screenshot as I never updated the dAISy-E10-M4463D project to the new version of WDS. dAISy requires CLK and DATA from the radio, which the 4362 config files map to GPIO2 and GPIO3. If necessary, move them to other pins as they are available on your breakout board.
But don't change CTS (GPIO1) as this pin is essential for SPI communication!
