This release brings the following updates:

  • Decoders: Support for iMet-50 Pilot-sondes. These use the same telemetry format as the iMet-54, though without sensor data, and have been observed in Israel.
  • Decoders: Changed references to LMS6-400 to LMS6-403 (better matches with manufacturer naming)
  • Decoders: Support for 'new' LMS6-403 sondes, with slightly different framing format. These sondes have been observed to be launched from Vandenburg Space Force base, and stop transmitting shortly after burst. We are unsure if these are a new variant of LMS6 sondes, or the same sondes with a firmware modification.
  • Docker: Minor changes to fsk_demod to support a switch to Alpine Linux in the future.

There are no configuration file changes in this release.

Note: We are aware that new installations may display the following message on startup:

The WebSocket transport is not available, you must install a WebSocket server that is compatible with your async mode to enable it. See the documentation for details. (further occurrences of this error will be logged with level INFO)

This can be safely ignored. The web interface should still continue to work as usual. Eventually we will figure out how to suppress it...

The pre-built Docker Image is now the recommended way to setup radiosonde_auto_rx on a new station. Using Docker avoids issues with updates to dependencies, and allows for fixes relating to system packages to be easily pushed out to users.

Please report any problems encountered either on the mailing list, or by raising an issue on this repository.
