[LW] [LW11] AIS reciever connection to Multiple MFD's

[E.hatch2086@cox.net]

Hi I presently have a ICOM AIS receiver connected to my eS7 MFD via the Nema183 input. It has worked fine.
Last fall I bought an Axiom 12. It has no NEMA 183 interface . So it was suggested that one way to get the AIS information to the AXIOM is to use an Actisense NGW-1-AIS NMEA Gateway for AIS Systems (Nema 183 to Nema 2000). Then connect that into my Raymarine network which is connected to both the eS and the AXIOM MFD's. They both show speed thru water,depth and wind etc as all those instruments are on the network.

Question 1: Do you think this would work for the AIS on the Axiom?

Question 2: Would you expect any issue with the AIS feeding to the two MFD'S simultaneously via the NEMA 183 connection ?

Thanks
