This release brings the following updates and changes:

  • Actually fix the DFM17/DFM09 mis-identification issue! (Thanks to @rs1729 for the help debugging this, and to WJ2B and KC7RW for sending through samples to test with).
  • Fix handling of Graw PS-15 pilot-sondes.

Also please refer to the changes in v1.7.3 here: https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/releases/tag/v1.7.3

Ongoing Known Issues:

  • iMet-1 serial number generation still has issues, and will result in iMet-1 sondes being assigned 3-4 different serial numbers throughout the flight. This is due to the iMet-1 telemetry repeating data across multiple frames, and there's no easy fix (Thanks InterMet...). iMet-4 sondes should not be affected.

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)

While this does not cause issues and auto_rx will continue to function, this can be resolved by installing the simple-websocket Python package. If you are using Docker, this will be included from the v1.6.2 release. Otherwise, you may need to run:

sudo pip3 install simple-websocket

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. We also now have a Discord server: https://sondehub.org/go/discord
