bigua,

Q. I understand that is better than NMEA use the seatalk way....It´s correct ??
A. From the standpoint of having an of the system's MFDs display AIS data and to control the Silent Mode state of an AIS700/650/500, either method is equally acceptable. Alternatively, interfacing an AIS700/650/500 via SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 communications may permit AIS data to be available to other devices within the system (ex. i70/i70S MFIDs, NMEA 2000 to WiFi interfaces, etc.) and determine certain diagnostics of the an AIS700/650/500 (ex. software level, etc.).
