problem has arisen.
Remedy:
Check if the antenna is AIS compatible (156-162 MHz) and if the
antenna cabling has a short circuit or is missing any contacts at the
connectors.
If the ID 01 is displayed as a stand alone message, then the unit
requires replacing.
Reaction: The transponder unit continues transmission.
