Title: Naval Ships
Post by: tornado on January 15, 2010, 09:34:28 PM

Hi,
Do you UK Naval ships broadcast AIS data?

Also how much range will there be on the Ship Plotter when its released? I live in London at the moment.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

The range for AIS signals is about 25-35 naut.miles, depending on the height of yr antenna position

Yes.  See the first ship (HMS PENZANCE) in the "Interesting Ships" thread - http://www.airnavsystems.com/forum/index.php?topic=3597.msg35207#msg35207

I am out of range for AIS signals :( I guess its network only for me.

Any idea when it will be released? Seems weird to have a forum and lots of pages about it on the website when now can actually use it
