Ok - I was able to get it working.
That was fun!
I also realized that my masthead
antenna needs to be replaced. Or maybe the active splitter was reducing the range when I was using the A026? For some reason I’m getting a lot more hits and farther away with this new set up than with my old one… despite being in my apartment (I live by the marina…).
I’m enjoying seeing the AIS target so much zi may get a second Pi and a little desk top
antenna and just leave it set up in my apartmemt.
Anyway, I’m very pleased that I was able to get this working.The next
project will be installing it in my 1980s era cruiser, and then maybe getting the old Seatalk instruments to talk to it. I need some
charts for
Open CPN too, since I don’t have sny on there yet…
