Enhancement: Add SYNOP-Decoder

in Feature requests

A nice extension would be the possibility to decode SYNOP messages, such as those sent by the DWD in RTTY, and perhaps display them on a map.

    Fldigi has a decoder, but I note that there are a number of Linux based parsers and decoders too.

    Just a quick selection.

    I had started looking into integrating various Fldigi decoders in a Kiwi extension. But that work got sidelined by more important tasks (only so many hours in a day). I got as far as getting RSID working. Wanted to work on MFSK next. And also replace the CW and FSK decoders we have now with the better Fldigi versions.

    The integration of FLDIGI decoders sounds like a good plan. MFSK and PSK are digital modes that can still be found on the bands. Pharos Ignis (aka PI4) should perhaps also be considered as this mode for beacons is becoming established.
