A028 receives all class A/B messages transmitted on two AIS channels. The following messages
(above 95% of all AIS messages) will be converted to NMEA 2000 PGNs and send to NMEA 2000
network. However the operator can still monitor and receive the rest in NMEA 0183 format through USB
and NMEA 0183 port.
