I have a Raymarine AIS650 and an ICOM 506 VHF radio.
I want to know if I integrate the VHF via NMEA 0183 to the NMEA 0183 pigtail on the AIS power cord can I make a DCS call to another vessel that I can see on AIS without having to manually enter the MMSI # of that vessel?
I know that certain companies can do this but they advertise this w using both of their own devices working together.
