Feature: predictions

Open DC7IA opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Not sure if this is something that is really hard to do.

Predictions are currently what I wish most for in pat.

Something like with Airmail, where it tells you the probability for a gateway and a frequency band.

After looking at my Airmail Virtual Machine, I figured out I could HB9AW on 80 m and just made my first PACTOR 3 connection with pat. :D

(Previously, I had only used ARDOP.)

Anyone aware of any projects that could be used for predictions? ICEPAC ­- which gets installed with Airmail - seems to be closed source, unfortunately.

Just found this: https://github.com/jawatson/voacapl

I wonder if that could be of any use.

Predictions would make #136 (automatic connect mode) much easier, since we would know which station to connect to...rather than simply trying dozens of gateways until one can be reached.

I agree. This would be a very nice addition to the rmslist feature 😃

This might be interesting: https://github.com/jawatson/voacapl

Edit: Did not realise I already said the same 8 months ago. xD
