Default SeaClear CPA/TCPA Sound Alarm

Hi,

I am testing the SR161 with SeaClear and I have not been able to get
the CPA/TCPA alarm to be triged; I have tried many change in the INI
parms, but the alarms do not sound. I have set the Max CPA=6nm and
TCPA=30min, have got many ships within this distance but nothing about
sound alarm, nor the graphic display alarm.

At the same situations, ShipPlotter sounds the alarm every time without
problem. I want to know if I need to have a valid GPS position at this
time, so that the CPA/TCPA can be calculated at SeaClear. In the
ShipPlotter software, I can set my Home as the reference position, but
in SeaClear this is not possible.

The relevant SeaClear INI parameters are shown below:

; Sound1=C:\SeaClear\Ding.wav
Sound1=C:\SeaClear\Horn.wav
Sound XTE R=NONE
Sound XTE L=NONE
Sound NMEA=NONE
Sound Dpt=NONE
Sound AIS CPA=
; C:\SeaClear\Horn.wav

and:
AIS CPA Max=6
AIS TCPA Max=0.0208333333333333
AIS CPA Color=9
AIS Hide Time=10
AIS Delete Time=360


Thanks
