A021 Connection issues

Post by Fastpaced »

Hello Everyone

Today I've received my new A021 usb dongle, installed the drivers, checked the connection with Putty which tells me I'm receiving AIS signals OK. Installed and setup OpenCPN using OpenSea charts. This is where the problems start There are no ships appearing on the charts. I've more than triple checked the setup, settings and connection but I am ata loss as to why the ships are displaying in the charts. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated, to get me going. I'm at a lossat the moment.

Further to our phone conversation just now, we believe your A021 didn't receive valid AIS signals. 7 miles from the sea with buildings and obstacles drops too much VHF signals. Can you please move to a near place to see any joy.
