Just subscribed to the group, so hope this is not a recent subject.
Can someone describe to me the wiring of an AIS receiver to a PC
navigation system? I am using Maptech Chart Navigator Pro. From what I
can find, I need a serial port to connect the AIS receiver. Already
using my one serial port for NEMA 0183 traffic between Northstar 941D
GPS, the PC/CNP, and the Simrad AP20 autopilot.Thanks

How about a USB-serial adapter? If so, look for a Prolific chipset for
good compatibility. I have one, and it works great with my GPS units.
