I'm having trouble with intermittent
AIS readings on my
laptop (Windows 10) using
open CPN. I use the USB port/connection
plug from my
AIS (GME AIST120) into my
laptop for
GPS position as well as AIS data.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it'll
work for a while and then stop. When it stops I get this notice: "USB device not recognized" It still broadcasts my AIS signal but doesn't send any data to the computer.
I have used contact cleaner, thinking
corrosion of the contacts could be an issue. I've tried turning off, then on, both the AIS and the computer.
