I've been meaning get "round to it" with the Raspberry Pi 4 I built
some time ago. Since I'm recovering from recent back surgery (doing
pretty well after surgery but having trouble sleeping and a few
other problems); I decided to mess with the Raspberry Pi 4 some. I
installed Direwolf and Xastir on the Pi 4 and connected my FT-8900R
to the Pi 4 with a USB sound card which is connected to the 1200
baud data out pin on the FT-8900R data jack. Today I was looking at
the decodes on 144.390 Mhz and saw what I guess is a weather
balloon? If so, it seems like it would have a better description
than "Original Balloon to identify what it is. Most of the info in
the decoded data is obvious. Like the position, I take it the speed
is the wind speed at the altitude of the balloon. I guess course is
the direction the balloon is moving. What is StrTrk, 192, 9 and
1.45V? I take it -33C and 7458Pa is the temperature and barometric
pressure at the balloon altitude.
