[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Ric,

The ProAIS2 software supplied with the AIS650 and found on the AIS650's Software Update Web Page may be used to enter static data, perform diagnostics, and to change the state of Silent Mode (Diagnostics tab). The AIS650's mini-USB port may be interfaced to a PC's USB port using a commonly available mini-USB to USB cable. In order to transmit, the AIS650 must:
- must be interfaced to the supplied GPS antenna
- must be interfaced to a VHF antenna having a maximum gain of -3dB
- must be programmed with a MMSI
- the supplied GPS antenna must be located where it will be afforded an unobstructed view of the skies overhead
- the AIS650's GPS receiver must acquire a GPS position FIX using GPS signal from the supplied GPS antenna
