Nothing about AIS.
Pity. All chartplotters need to be AIS compatible.
I've sent email to The Cap'n nav software we use. I want him to add code
to it that will generate and decode AIS 9600 baud data straight off the VHF
radios, without the million dollar marine interface/radio scam. We hams
have used direct soundcard audio for our digital systems on VHF for years,
bypassing the sell-me-another-box scams. Modern PCs are easily up to the
task of direct interfaces.....fast.
