I have a question for someone who actually has it installed because I can't get a straight answer from
Garmin.
On the
Garmin chart-plotters, when you choose an
AIS target, it gives you the option to call the ship using
VHF.
Does that
work with any brand of
radio or Only Garmin? And then next question is that if that call can be accomplished over NEMA 0183 or not, and if so, is that outbound NEMA sentence a part of the
DSC spec so that ANY
DSC radio should be able to do it?
Ok, so that's more than one question... sorry
