– General AIS information and the software ”proAIS2” –
What does the AIS require in order to be able to send AIS information out from your AIS?
In order for the AIS transponder to be able to send its AIS information (it will always receive AIS information from other vessels as long
as you have a good VHF antenna system) the AIS transponder must have:
•
Enough power supply (at least 10VDC).
•
A good/great VHF antenna system. I.e. your VHF antenna, the cable to the VHF antenna and the connectors MUST function in a
proper way. To get an idea how good your VHF antenna system is, use the software ”proAIS2” (see coming pages).
•
A well functioning GPS antenna. The software ”proAIS2” will give you information about how well your GPS antenna is working.
•
Be programmed with the following information:
•
MMSI number
•
Call sign
•
Name of your boat/ship/vessel. You cannot use ”strange signs” e.g. : ”* / - ”.
•
Approximate position, in meters, where the GPS antenna connected to the AIS is located on your boat (see coming pages).
