Hi all,
Another thread reminded me about the incomplete implementation of class-B
AIS on N2K. I think
NMEA published the standards for class-B PGNs 1.5-2 years ago.
I saw somebody (must be Dave :-) mention that the
Raymarine AIS does send all PGNs for class-B. I also knew that the
Simrad AI50 did NOT do that because it was launched before these PGNs were published. So, I sent an
email to
Simrad and they confirmed full compatibility now (their mail included below).
So I got this idea to find people here with plotters and/or AIS units with N2K and see if they at least support the PGNs which means that they should
work together.
The following 4 PGNs are the
core of what we would need to see the targets on our
screen with full details (according to Simrad):
129038 Class A Position Report
129039 Class B Position Report
129040 Class B Extended Position Report
129794 Class A Static and Voyage Related Data
So, which plotters will listen for these and display targets... and which other AIS units transmit these PGNs?
cheers,
Nick.
