Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Yes, we make an AIS device intended for government and industry which is primarily used to create virtual AtoN's. It can autonomously transmit large numbers of these if needed. AtoN's don't appear as...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

The reason the standards exist is to ensure that AIS units interoperate with one another and don't cause interference, for example by transmitting when they aren't supposed to, and to ensure that...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

This continues to be a source of frustration for us. Since day 1 our iOS app has been able to receive alarms when the app is in the background but Apple refused to allow us to release it. We appealed...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Unfortunately, you can't do one without the other. The H/W requirements are significantly different so that's why we didn't do it in the new version of Vision which couldn't accommodate it physically.

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Because it isn't compliant with the standards and regulations and so it can't be type approved or certified for use in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, NZ and most other places that rely on those...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Thanks for the good feedback. Much appreciated. With regards to a couple of the items:

1. There should be an anchor icon but it sounds like it's not obvious enough

2. Yeah, the iOS app can be a...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Sorry, just getting back to this. No, I don't think another heading source would prevent the XB-8000 from generating the PGN. But maybe you need to select the heading source on the radar perhaps?...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Yes, this should work. The XB-8000 translates this to PGN 127250. So a few things to check... make sure your XB-8000 firmware is up-to-date as this support was added in an earlier update. Check that...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Sorry for the delay... just saw this thread again.

Yup, and it's already there in the last update. It takes 0183 APB, RMB, XTE, BOD, BWW, and RMB sentences and translates them into these NMEA 2000...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

You're right, you're seeing our latest Android or iOS app in action.

It knows you've got an XB-8000 and so when it's on the internet it finds there is an update for your XB-8000, downloads it and...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

You can use either USB or WiFi which is nice because no cables are needed of course. When using USB you have a serial port created on your computer (eg. COM5) and configure your PC software to use...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

First off... thanks for choosing the XB-8000.

It would certainly be good, but unfortunately I don't believe that Ray or the others provide for this. The XB-8000 can join any WiFi network and...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Yes, use our latest firmware but I think the problem is likely in the C120W. Double check you've also got the latest Raymarine firmware: Latest Software for C-Series Widescreen MFDs (C90W, C120W,...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Yes, you can but there's a catch... since you are already using the XB-8000's NMEA 0183 output at 38400 baud then your VHF radio will also need to accept the GPS data at 38400 baud. If your radio can...

Yes, you can configure the switch function in vmAIS to either activate silent mode or silence the alarm (both MOB and Anchor Alarms)

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Yeah, we realized that too as we often have a dozen or so XB's on our office network :smile: So, the latest XB-8000's and Vision's come from us with a unique SSID including the serial number.

Glad...

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Yeah, I agree. The WiFi booster shouldn't be an issue.



All the recent (last 3-4 years) Icom fixed mount VHF's will work. If it says it's compatible with the Icom AIS then it works for this.

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Good question. And that should be fine. Keep VHF antenna separation 3-4' from each other but the GPS antennas will be ok.

Re: Vesper Marine AIS

Thanks for this info. We've been looking into it and it appears to be a bug in the new Android version of the app which only happens in a few locations. Doesn't happen with the Apple app. We're...
