For ultimate performance the AIS-2-2000 uses a dedicated VHF antenna or can share the boats existing VHF Antenna using the Comar ASR 100 Antenna splitter which will ensure AIS reception and VHF reception simultaneously whilst priortising the VHF/DSC radio when transmitting.Unlike many AIS receivers that claim to be dual channel the AIS-2-NMEA is a true parallel AIS receiver, ensuring that you receive the most up to date positions and information of all vessels around you.Open Skipper can also receive and transmit data over multiple connections, including a RS-232 serial port (for NMEA 0183), NMEA 2000 to USB adapter, and wired and wireless network connections (including TCP and UDP). Two AIS receivers monitor both AIS channels simultaneously. OpenSkipper runs on a PC (laptop or desktop) aboard your boat to show electronic instruments displaying speed, heading, etc.The AIS targets together with all the static and dynamic information received is displayed on any compatible Chartplotter or Radar connected to the NMEA 2000 network. It came with a useful guide to various 2000 network. speed/temp transduceras well as a gray-scale display and PC gateway, all from Maretron (see below). The September/October 1997 issue described the features of CAN in the article NMEA 2000 & the Controller Area Network. The AIS-2-2000 reads and decodes all AIS messages that are specified and transmitted by AIS Class A and Class B transponders. My first NMEA 2000 experience started with a box of made-up Micro-size cables and tee fittings, plus some sensorsa GPS receiver, a compass, and a depth/. Key to NMEA 2000 is an integrated circuit implementation of a network access protocol commonly known as CAN.
