AIS RLT-SDR

[Amityangler]

Hello
I'm trying to get AIS working with a RTL-SDR donggle in UBUNTU I have completed the installation as described at:
https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comm...s_and_opencpn/

I recieve this error message:

$ ais_rx -sosmocom -g35 -r250e3 > ais_pipe
gr-osmosdr v0.1.4-67-gac15e789 (0.1.5git) gnuradio 3.7.9
built-in source types: file fcd rtl rtl_tcp uhd hackrf bladerf rfspace airspy redpitaya
Using device #0 Realtek RTL2838UHIDIR SN: 00000001

Kernel driver is active, or device is claimed by second instance of librtlsdr.
In the first case, please either detach or blacklist the kernel module
(dvb_usb_rtl28xxu), or enable automatic detaching at compile time.

usb_claim_interface error -6

FATAL: Failed to open rtlsdr device.

Trying to fill up 1 missing channel(s) with null source(s).
This is being done to prevent the application from crashing
due to gnuradio bug #528.


Thanks for any help

Do you have writes to open the device.

Could you add sudo before the command and see if that works?

[Amityangler]

$ sudo ais_rx -sosmocom -g35 -r250e3 > ais_pipe

ADDED sudo, results the same. thanks for the response

Got it to the next step by disabling the RTL module as suggested, Need to figure out how to adjust the gain

[seandepagnier]

Set auto gain. The rtlsdr plugin automatically invokes rtl_ais with the correct parameters.

[Amityangler]

is that the auto calibration function?
