I went into many difficulties trying to configure signal K to :

1. Add output to an rs232 VHF (GLL should suffice, 4800 Bd ) ;
   
2. add input from rs232 AIS receiver (e.g. AIVDM, 38400Bd) ;
   
3. Add Output towards a Pilot (RS232, 4800 Bd) ;
   

The difficulties were not related to 'RS232' aspects, but to the signal K configuration !
In fact I gave up,   and following a co-forumer suggestion, I had to connect an extra RS232 GPS to the VHF !

All this should be treated with an AUTO mode, like in "Add to Signal K " or "Add to GPSD" buttons from the Serial Application ...
Off course all the miscellaneous actions to avoid loops should be automatic and behind the curtain  !
Point 1 and 3 could maybe use the same button ?

In the actual state, OP is almost not usable ...
