I've been working on porting JAERO to Android and with PocketAERO I believe I did just that. Since then I've decided that JAERO is outdated and we really needed an SDR-First GUI application for decoding data from the Inmarsat Satellites.

Welcome in, InmarScope.

I started with a waterfall and fft on a dear im gui interface and added on a wav/IQ playback functionality. With this I could take what I learned with PocketAERO and bring that over to InmsarScope.

It supports common AERO modes including 8400 baud AERO Voice calls and STD-C EGC messages! Futher we have full voice call following by listening to P-Channels for C Channel Assignments.

From there I added support for remote servers and the RTL SDR and HackRF. Data output modes like JAERO had and more!

Tonight, I felt that the listen and hop method of listening to AERO calls works but you'll miss calls due to the fact that we have to stop monitoring P-Channels in order to listen to voice Channels within the bandwidth of an RTL-SDR.

So I added a split-view for dual RTL SDR mode, allowing users to use two RTL-SDRs to listen into P-Channel for messages and at the same time decode and record 8400 baud AERO Voice channels.

Stay tuned for more!
