FA150 UAIS not showing class B vessel names

[domino185]

I recently purchased a 2007 boat with an FA150 UAIS along with GP32, Vx2 MFD, and RD30 Instruments. The FA150 shows full static data on class A vessels, but only MMSI for class B vessels. Is there a setting or software update to enable the FA150 to show full static data or at least names on B vessels? Thanks!

domino185,
Thank you for your inquiry.
The short answer is that the FA150 product was introduced/sold before class B was established. In 2008 we introduced version 1.09 software for the FA150. One of the features of this software was the capability to display the new class B target information. Please verify your current software version of the FA150 processor & display. If lower than version 1.09 please contact any authorized Furuno servicing dealer to make arrangements to have the software updated. https://www.furunousa.com/en/company/find_a_dealer
