Hi Eric,

Thank you very much for the details.
As I'm almost done with the DAC1/FID11 stuff, I decided to add 2 
sentences in test/sample.aivdm and update test/sample.aivdm.chk 
accordingly, then I wanted to update
test/synthetic-ais.json and test/synthetic-ais.json.chk, and i'm now 
facing some issues.
In this file it is said:
# Synthetic test load designed to exercise the AIS JSON parser
# These are JSON dumps of the packets in the Schwehr testload,
# via gpsdecode -j -u <test/sample.aivdm

So I tried to update it with the given command, but there's quite some 
differences (apart for my 2 new sentences):
- All entries are different because of an added field: "device":"stdin"
- 2 Type8/DAC366/FID22 are replaced with 2 DAC366/FID56:
  - For the first one, only the FID number is different (same payload, 
MMSI, ...)
  - For the second one, MMSI, FID and payload are all different
- A type 15 have been added
- A type 24 have been replaced by another type 24
- A type 24 have been added
- 2 type 5 have been addded

Attached is a diff, after removing the extra "device":"stdin" for clarity.

I don't see what i can do for the added sentence other than updating the 
file. But the 2 Type8/DAC366/FID22 look suspicious to me. What do you think?

In the mean time, I've just updated synthetic-ais.json and 
test/synthetic-ais.json.chk with my 2 new sentences so that i can test 
the JSON idempotency.

Regards,
Chris
