The baudrate is configurable. 9600 is just the default at this moment.

+1 on the Quark A026. We have been using one for a while now and are very pleased. I particularly like that it is self contained so I am not dependent on plugging it in to a particular computer with software to make it work. Just give it power and a VHF/AIS antenna connection (I use a Vesper splitter to our mast-top antenna) and you can get AIS and GPS info via WiFi to whatever computer, tablet or phone you want. We mostly use the AIS info in OpenCPN on a tablet.

Adrian has updated his website and line of AIS products.

So we've updated his AIS section in Supplemental Hardware


PS: Adrian, did you see the example of two land AIS stations sharing data using OpenCPN, I guess for redundency and expanded area, eand then reported to their own AIS servers, MarineTraffic, etc. ?

I'd like to find that description, discussion.
