I had a Comar AIS fail like that a few years ago. It started scrambling the static and dynamic data. At one point my 15m boat became 1,500 metres. Very strange when you're looking at someone else's AIS and realize the red brick covering the entire north end of the bay is yours.

Just before I ripped it out it grabbed the MMSI and speed from a whale watching vessel on the other side of the strait and was reporting 34 knots tied up to the dock. This boat wouldn't do 34 unless you pushed it off a cliff.
