Yes it does. If you have a lot of AIS targets they will totally overload a 4800 baud channel. The plotter goes off to SH tomorrow. $35 to upgrade the firmware and $15 more to wipe the MMSI from one of my old VHFs. I have to say Standard Horizon is doing well by me today ☺ Also props to MilltechMarine. I had one of their AIS receivers for years and it has migrated to another C&C lately.

I had same problem on my S-H 390. If I remember correctly ( highly unlikely), you want something around 3600 baud rate for the ais. MILLTECH marine is a great source for all things AIS.

The data is definitely coming out of the AIS unit. The AIS is a GPS receiver as well and sends AIS and GPS data out of the 38.4K port. Usually a GPS will send the satellites in view and their signal strength, but the Digital Yacht unit is not doing this. The plotter will read 4800 baud data, but the AIS will not send AIS data from that port, only GPS. I think S-H needs to update the firmware to fix this issue.

Why would the AIS send out GPS sat signals? Waterproof boxes look nice. I've got my Daisy2 AIS receiver connected to my onboard PC. Amazing how many boats leave their AIS on all winter! Must have had 50 targets Sunday, and only 1 tug was moving.

My CP180 plotter is refusing to take AIS input on any NMEA port. The firmware version is from 2008, so I think I'll be sending it back to S-H for a firmware upgrade. This will cost about $35, which IMHO is quite reasonable and also a nice contrast to brand R, which tends to tell you "buy a new one" as the answer to any issue with any old equipment. Another issue is not a big deal but just odd, the AIS seems to not be sending out the GPS per satellite signal quality string. On the computer and the plotter I can see the position and HDOP just fine, but no individual satellite signal levels. On the good news side, the waterproof junction boxes and glands I got from Amazon are working out well. http://www.moyermarine.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=13144&stc=1&d=1513609581 Joe Coquina C&C 35 MK I _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
