Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

OK Evans. My intent wasn't to be confrontational. I certainly am not aware of everything at all times and can experience the problems you mention. I have to admit, though, that I am meticulous...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

I have mentioned that I prefer turning off audio alarms in harbor and other close situations. What I wasn't clear on is that I still have alarms - just not audio.

In another post, I described...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

Ah, this might answer the question I have been waiting to see answered. Evans asked about the situation when his unit is externally shut down and he had no control over it. Seemed quite alarming...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

Ah, that sounds nice, but Michele and I would have steering wars if we both had control of the boat... :rolleyes:

Is the front of the cockpit near a dodger? The iPad should do good in shade.

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

But one would suppose that in close confined waters or areas of lots of boat traffic, where this thread has been concerned, one would be mostly at or near the helm? In open water navigation, you...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

Dave, I don't understand your point. We have one of your "poor" SH AIS receive units.

(a) It is connected to our chart plotter, computer and radar. All three are in our view at the helm.

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

Since very early in the thread, "commons" has been a short form reference to the parable "tragedy of the commons". Someone pointed out back then that this short hand was wrong and might result in...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

How does this possible? Or is it just meant to account for boats that have an incorrect status entered?

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

Didn't you buy the Actisense? It should hook up between your radio and your N2K network and provide 0183 GPS data to your radio and N2K DSC data to your chartplotter.

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

The only regulations I have ever seen considered are laws to INCREASE AIS, not decrease it or take it away.

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

I'm stuck with Furuno's obstinence in publicly refusing to accept or support N2K AIS :(

I don't think you read the posts well. Nobody claimed infringement on rights and privileges or obscenity of courtesy. I can't recall a single post stating (your...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

I won't argue about my approach being COLREG. When I am in commercial traffic and they are maneuvering around ports or in shipping channels, etc, I take it fully upon myself to stay out of their way...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

Does the plotter accept AIS via N2K? If so, just get an Actisense 0183-N2K converter. They have AIS PGNs on it.

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

One point - and this is not an accusation, just a point - I regularly watch ships on radar with the AIS overlaid on it. The radar return will move forward outside the target icon, then the target...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

Not installing a transponder was a conscious decision for us, coupled with the fact that they were all >$1000 when we were at that decision point.

My thinking was:

1. There would be no way I...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

Yes, I agree it is happening - didn't express myself well. I meant to say "I suspect this is happening because the radio has poor engineering and user interface". I don't think the people...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

I think user training is only partly the problem and would go away completely if the radios were engineered better. I cannot believe how complicated and unfriendly many of the current units are. ...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

False alarms are a different thing than using DSC to communicate, etc. Routine communications, position polling and all the other functionality does not go out to anyone other than the specific mmsi...

Re: Please turn your AIS off when docked/moored/anchored

I think it has to do with the radio engineering (well, programming), and there is hope there. We have a new Standard Horizon DSC radio and using the DSC functions (all of them) are as simple as...
