[CA] Seeing own boat as AIS target

[Mick]

We are getting our own boat as an AIS target on the Axiom Pro MFD's.(Axiom pro 9 & 15) We updated the software on the MFD's and just did the software update to the Raymarine AIS 650, via the SD card.

We are still getting the AIS target. This is a problem because we can't delete it and it is blocking the boat icon on the screen.

Any input is appreciated.

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Mick,

Please specify how you have interfaced the AIS650 to your MFD ... via SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000, via NMEA 0183, or both. Please additionally specify whether the system includes any additional AIS receiver or transceivers such as one which may be part of a VHF radio.

We found that the Icom VHF was picking up the Raymarine AIS650 & displaying the target over nmea2k. We blocked the MMSI # in the Icom and that took care of the problem.
