[CA] [CA11] Ais 700 and c90W

Franck,

I have verified that unlike the E-Series Widescreen MFDs, the C-Series Widescreen MFD will command the Silent Mode state to ON each time that the MFD is switched ON. The only way to work around this feature would be to wire the AIS transceiver to the MFD in a manner which would only support one way NMEA 0183 communications between the AIS transceiver and the MFD (i.e. AIS transceiver 38.4K NMEA 0183 OUT to MFD 38.4K NMEA 0183 IN). The AIS transceiver's Silent Mode leads alone would then be used to command the AIS transceiver into and out of silent mode.
