I've encountered another TZTouch2 N2K issue. Every 2 seconds it sends out a broadcast request asking all devices to send it the Humidity PGN 130313. An ISO Request like this take priority so all devices on the network need to stop what they are doing respond either by sending the requests PGN or sending a NACK.
What's perhaps even more interesting is that the NavPilot 700 does exactly the same thing. I have reported it, but heard nothing back.
First, why the heck are these devices asking everyone to send them the Humity PGN? It just makes no sense.
Second, it can be very disruptive on the network. If you have 30 devices on the network, and every one is compelled to reply to this request every 2 seconds, it's generating more traffic than a fast heading sensor, fast position update, rudder position, or pretty much every other device except perhaps AIS. It really starts to become a problem.
I hope the engineers are working on fixing this too.
