I've got a NASA engine coupled to an Easy splitter and back to the Standard Horizon plotter with a readout on a laptop (SOB v MAX) utilising the C-Map cartridge from the plotter when the laptops in use...(One of those expensive orange card readers from C-Map)
It all now works fine but I note that all the info., which I guess, is supposed to be broadcast by all the "biggies", is not always received...
Generally the vessels name is missing also destinations not shewn..
Of course there still seems to be a significant delay between the vessel sending the info. and me receiving it...
I try to check with the Marpa on the Radar, which is basically delayed by a maximum of one sweep, and there is really a large difference. Makes me wonder if I'd have benn better investing in a fluxgate for the Marpa!!
I'm hoping (weather permitting) to cruise some of North Brittany starting this Friday evening so when I get the wind vane going I'll try to be more specific as to time lags..
Comments???
