Thanks Peter,

I really do not know if DSC is 9600 or 4800. By the way, as You are the
"pope" on NMEA, can You explain to us the format and meaning of the
DSC/DSCE and the AIVDM messages?

Sorry - I don't have any info on the DSC and DSE sentences. I have
manuals for two radios that should send those sentences, but they
don't give the sentence formats, and a short web search hasn't turned
up anything useful.

If you have a radio that does send those sentences, you should be able
to capture the data (with Windows Hyperterminal, or similar program).
Once you have captured a few sample sentences, it should be fairly
easy to determine the format. (See my NMEA FAQ for the formats of
other sentences...)
