I have hit a snag with my project. My CP180 plotter is refusing to take AIS input on any NMEA port. The firmware version is from 2008, so I think I'll be sending it back to S-H for a firmware upgrade. This will cost about $35, which IMHO is quite reasonable and also a nice contrast to brand R, which tends to tell you "buy a new one" as the answer to any issue with any old equipment. Another issue is not a big deal but just odd, the AIS seems to not be sending out the GPS per satellite signal quality string. On the computer and the plotter I can see the position and HDOP just fine, but no individual satellite signal levels. On the good news side, the waterproof junction boxes and glands I got from Amazon are working out well. http://www.moyermarine.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=13144&stc=1&d=1513609581
