You need to get your facts straight! A Raymarine C/E series
chartplotter
runs at 38400 baud when in AIS mode. Most likely others do that too....

Oh and besides that, there is also something called NMEA0183-HS which
IS
38400 at RS422.

hMM....We're buying new equipment, again....sorry. What about wonderful
NMEA2000, or whatever NMEA is calling their latest and greatest version
to sell new equipment this month? Does it run 38,800 baud?

I'm still wondering why we don't just make the AIS receivers run 4800
baud. On a boat with a 12 mile range, there aren't enough AIS ships to
jam a 4800 baud port up, at least that couldn't be buffered cheaply for a
few milliseconds as it spits it out.

Do you know why they insist on 38,800 baud RS-232C, not RS-422 levels??
Seems really stupid to me.
