    Any AIS receiver should work, Erland. While many have additional outputs like USB or NMEA 2000, I think they all output AIS target info in NMEA 0183 format at 38,400 bps. The electrical connection is sometimes called RS 232, and it's generally bare wires. Humminbird has a pretty good PDF on how to make that data connection though it oddly doesn't mention the 0183 data format. Guess it's just assumed.

    Hello

    Thanks Ben

    I have solved the problem with connection between AIS receiver and Humminbird 1197c SI...

    I have an NASA MARINE , AIS ENGINE 2 receiver and after several attempt I suddenly get it connected with my Humminbird 1197c SI

    I use the connection explained in:

    http://www.humminbird.com/Faq.aspx?TaxonomyId=98A1885

    The AIS are not viewed in the SYSTEM STATUS (ACCESSORY TEST)
    but when the AIS receiver send data to Humminbird you can select AIS at the Accessories Menu Tab

    Thank's
