Did you try and bring up the actual AtoN info page, meaning not the AIS page?

I had to click outside the AtoN icon, clicking on the number to get the info page.

If I see it correctly, the AIS AtoNs are represented on your plotter as either Real or Synthetic. How did you determine the transmission is coming from the Rescue 21 tower and not the actual aid? I do not know how my radio is receiving the AIS transmissions, only that it is. I thought there must be ...

I suppose I should have expanded a bit more. The patent actions piqued my interest in the Humminbird 997c I have and just removed from my boat. Seeing one giant, Humminbird, go after another giant, Garmin inferred there must be something more to the technology that I had originally not thought much ...

After giving it a lot of thought, I don't think just adding a bow stop is going to make a difference. Unless, I add it like Jeff did in the 2nd post, with a second post for the winch. With the boat on the trailer on a steep ramp, the highest bow support is going to be the support the boat rotates ag...

To Lowrance tech support I posted the following question. Question: Is there a way to access the files stored on the SD cards over the wifi connection?

That submarine screen capture is amazingly good. That is not side scan--what made that image? It is a side scan, just not a consumer oriented unit like one might be led to believe looking at the Lowrance Facebook page. Towed fish, Klein, Deepvision etc. If you google "side scan sonar images&qu...

The OUTRAGE 21 is the first trailer boat I have had with a bow pulpit. The bow puplit has added some difficulty to launch and recovery. The boat is a 1999 21 Outrage, and the trailer is a1999 Load-Rite bunk. My ramp access is a bit steep, and tides can be a problem. I am looking for ideas and sugges...

Clicking on one of the icons on the HDS will bring up whatever the available information is that is stored.

My transducers. Port side is the LSS-2, Airmar TM150 on the starboard. Hard to tell, but the LSS-2 is slightly below the height of the TM150. The blue tape and mark is how far toward the center I can go without hitting the lower unit on turns. So I could get it a couple inches lower. Since it is a l...

On a paper chart, the radiating magenta lines represent a fog signal.

Interesting, on the HDS AIS overlay, all of the Ambrose channel markers have the magenta lines.

-the big question is would the ship answer the call? In the Great Lakes all commercial traffic is supposed to maintain a radio watch on CH-13.

If you are in only 5.7-feet of water I would not expect the range of the side scan to go very far. Isn't the range of the side scan SONAR related to the water depth?

As you brought up in the old forum, [initiating a radio DSC call from a chart plotter] is not possible on a NMEA 0183 network.

PORTHOLE's comment on AIS target display: "Listed on the HDS vessel display were all of the Ambrose Channel ATONs in the New York Harbor approach." That is very interesting. I was curious about the ability of the NAVICO chart plotters to display AIS Aid-To-Navigation targets. Perhaps you ...

We have gotten multiple boats over the years through the GSA. All Whaler's, Navy, DNR, ICE, NP's etc. all were rough except one (see below). The Navy boats were usually in the best shape as they were "one owner", and Navy spec'd hulls are very robust For the most part everything can be fix...
