15.7 AIS OPERATION
The
GX2100
is equipped with an AIS (A
UTOMATIC
I
DENTIFICATION
S
YSTEM
) receiver
and can display AIS targets around your vessel on the radios display. There-
fore, you can identify and avoid other large vessels nearby your vessel.
The
GX2000
can also show AIS targets, however a separate AIS receiver or
transponder with NMEA VDM 34800 baud must be connected to the acces-
sory cable.
NOTE
To show AIS targets on radios display, a GPS needs to be connected so
the radio knows it position relative to the AIS targets.
1. Press the [
AIS
] key to show the AIS screen. The
AIS display shows your vessel as a triangle in the
center of the display. AIS targets are shown as
circles. The line projected from the circle is the AIS
vessels course over ground (COG).
2. Press the one of the soft keys momentarily, then
press the [
LIST
] soft key to show a list of AIS ves-
sels being received.
Note
: Up to 10 AIS targets can be shown on the
display.
3. Rotate the
CHANNEL
knob to select the MMSI num-
ber (or vessel name). The selected AIS target is dis-
played with “ ” icon, other station is displayed with
“ ” icon.
4. Press the one of the soft key momentarily, then press the [
INFO
] key to
show more information of the AIS target.
Note
: When the “LIST” and “INFO” pages are shown, the radio will update
every ten seconds, so it may take some time to show the vessels names
instead of the MMSI and update the navigation information of each ship.
The AIS output of the
GX2100
is updated in realtime as transmissions are
received from the AIS equipped ships.
5. To see AIS information of another AIS target, press the [
NEXT
] key. Re-
peat presses of the [
NEXT
] key will scroll though all the AIS Targets.
