Using RSP1A for AIS signals

Hello,

I've recently bought an SDRplay RSP1A device and being a complete beginner I would like to ask for some advice.

I would like to receive, decode AIS signals and store them in JSON format. I've done a lot of reading online but I still don't know what is the easiest and best set up/software to use. I was thinking of using the SRDPlay Raspberry Pi image to start with, but I was warned it may not perform well.

Do you know any useful resources I could look at? Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you
Daniela

Not sure if MultiPSK will output in the format you wish but you can use two instances of MultiPSK and 2 VRX's in SDRuno to decode AIS signals. Here are a few links that might help you. You will need a way to digitally pipe the audio from SDRuno into the decoder. I recommend VBcable
