Many AIS manufacturers do not implement the full set of AIS SMS
messages. The AI80 has a complete set of AIS SMS messages
including Addressed, Safety related addressed and Safety related
broadcast messages accessible from the display. Please note that
Addressed (addressed binary message 6) is often excluded by other
AIS manufacturers. Therefore it is recommended that the user uses
Safety related messages instead of Addressed.
The Outbox
Outbox contains all sent messages. If the receiving AIS unit
acknowledged the message, a check-sign is shown in front of that line.
The latest message is on top. If the user wants to re-send or read a
