[CA] [CA11] Ray70 AIS Receiver to Transmitter Update

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Dan,

It will necessary to install an AIS Class B transceiver onboard and a Class B AIS antenna splitter to achieve the end which you are seeking. Raymarine's AIS700 combines the features of an AIS Class B transceiver onboard and a Class B AIS antenna splitter within a single product. Should the system feature a MFD which supports processing NMEA 2000 PGNs containing AIS data, then the AIS700 would be interfaced as a spur to the system's powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone. Should the latter not be so and the system feature a MFD which supports processing NMEA 0183 sentences containing AIS data, then the AIS700's 38400 BAUD NMEA 0183 output leads be interfaced to the NMEA 0183 input leads of the MFD's 38400 BAUD NMEA 0183 communications interface. Finally, the Ray70's AIS feature would need to be configured OFF within its settings to prevent having the Ray70 detect and report ownship data as a dangerous target.
