My new to me boat has a Raymarine that I like. It is an upgraded version of what I had on my sailboat. It has an AIS receiver, which after only a few days I have found that I really like. It does not have a transceiver however. Seeing how much I like to be able to see the information from the commercial boats I share the water with, I would like them to have the same level of information about me.
I am sure that one of you very smart folks has done this. How can I add a transceiver to my current system?
What I have.
E120 MFD with radar and GPS
ST60 fathometer
ST70 Autopilot
Ray218 VHF.
Ray AIS250 receiver
The problem as I understand it, is that the Raymarine AIS650 uses the RM SeaTalkng while my 2010 era system is SeaTalk (NMEA 2000 vs NMEA 0183). Because of this, I can't simply swap out my AIS250 receiver for the AIS650 transceiver.
Any ideas?
