Hank Fri, 08 May 2009 22:15:25 +0000 http://www.navsoftware.com/info/?p=69#comment-436 Guys... I found this thread doing a Google search. I just installed a Nauticast-B AIS, along with a Actisense NDC-4A, interfacing to a Raymarine E120. The multiplexer is required to change the baud rate to 38400. Now, the fun starts.... I can see other ships on my laptop, but not on the E120. I still have the icon, "NO AIS". Speaking with Raymarine today, it was determined that the NMEA sentences, "VDM and VDO", were not being received by the E120, which would make it see the AIS. My question, has anyone found the "secret switch" to make the Nauticast-B work with the E120? Capt. Hank hjackson58@bellsouth.net Guys… I found this thread doing a Google search.

The plotter could potentially display other vessels positions that are broadcast from Class A or class B transponders. Check you manual to see if AIS and class B is supported. Sorry I don't know for sure on this particular unit. A Class B Transponder is not meant to interface with a chartplotter.

Has the Nauticast B-AIS Transponder been tested with Raymarine for compatibility and ease of connection? My boat is equipped with Raymarine C-120 system.
