Hi again Roel, I had a look at the AIS message format from your link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_identification_system#Message_format) and this seems to be a nice use case; all the data components seem to be nicely aligned on the byte boundary ... until you see that the payload uses ASCII6(*), which I didn't know about. Thanks again for the info! Cheers, (*) ASCII6 code = ASCII code + 48; (http://catb.org/gpsd/AIVDM.html#_aivdm_aivdo_sentence_layer) SB -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
