Dave,
I have a high interest in AIS ability. I have no desire to reinvent the
wheel. Will you be selling your system?

Most of the radar manufacturers have data simulators,the dealers use

Kongsberg/Simrad or Raytheon High Seas, or Foruno , they may be able
to refer you to a dealer near you, I've found Foruno and Simrad to be
easier to work with

Ok, I'll have a hunt around & ask some of the local dealers.

What kind of system do you have? Does it receive
AIS or just accept data from an AIS system? Just curious!

We have written our own software to process the AIS data & display it on
MapInfo GIS based display. We get the data from the Chinese made AIS units
(http://www.yte.com.cn/) & also have some Nauticast AIS units.

The plan is to have ARPA input to our software as well so we can do
overlays.
I'd just like to look at some ARPA samples to get an idea of the update
rate
& amount of data as I'm not sure whether our system will be able to keep
up
with it or not.
