Using the Icom AIS
A. Principle for using an ICOM VHF radio with UTIF-AIS option
VHF reception simply needs to be activated manually on one or other of the AIS
channels or by simultaneously scanning both AIS channels shown on the display
as A1 & A2.
B. Activation of the AIS
On a normal set of channels, the two AIS channels (AIS 1 & AIS 2) are marked
by default with a TAG (see the VHF radio user manual to understand the role of
the tag in scanning), which means they will be scanned when the scan function
is activated. This is the easiest method of AIS implementation. You will thus
continue to listen in to your favourite channels while AIS information is being
regularly transmitted to the NMEA output and your application
