[CA] [CA11] AIS to a78

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Greyharbor,

With the exception of Raymarine's legacy AIS250 and AIS950 products, all other Raymarine AIS products featured both NMEA 0183 and SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 communications interfaces. Accordingly, for all devices other than the AIS250 and AIS950, it would be recommended that the Raymarine AIS product and a78 MFD each be interfaced as a spur to a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how a simple backbone may be constructed. Alternatively, the 38400 BAUD NMEA 0183 communications leads / terminals of an AIS product may be interfaced to a 38400 BAUD NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 data bridging device (ex. Actisense NGW-1-ISO-AIS), which in turn will be interface to a spur socket within the aforementioned backbone.
