Joe: I have an AIT2000 and Raymarine C80 MFD. The AIS out goes to the C80 NMEA 0183 in and the AIS in goes to the C80 out. Since I have a separate GPS, that connects to my VHF for the DSC connection. I use a separate VHF antenna for the AIS, and it can be used as a VHF antenna in case I ever lose my mast. I had difficulty connecting the AIS to my laptop (something to do with the software I'm using), so I connected my GPS to the laptop as well as to the VHF/DSC connections.
