Maiana to Signal K drop outs?

[Techstyle]

I would check if your VHF forwards your 34.8k AIS-Data also over it`s 4800 Port to Garmin, ST4000 and via RS422 to SignalK. If true this is to much data for the 4800 Baud - an maybe it is scrambled. 4800 is ok for Autpilot and GPS.
If true, you should setup an filter for this maybe in the VHF or in NMEAOut from SK.

Do you have another AIS in your first Hub - or is this an Errror in your Plan?

Try also to connect your Maiana direct to your first USB-Hub. USB-Cable Lenght of 3 or 4 meters should work fine.

BTW: nice Videos in Your Tube-stream. Happy Sailing

I also see sometimes an RED Error Line in SK from (AVnav-in my setup)  but it is okay when the connection stays green.

Thanks for the reply and comments on my Youtube channel!!

the VHF only sends DSE and DCS sentences.  The second AIS dongle is in the first hub, but the antenna is not currently connected.

the Maiana had USB drop out issues when I first posted and then last night.  I sailed for 10hrs over the weekend and had no such issues. 

I will be checking with a different Micro USB cable and seeing if I can couple the Ethernet cable from Maiana to the one from my helm to the nav station and put Maiana in there.  I will also turn on logging

thanks
