Own AIS on the nn3d plotter

[Piers]

Does anyone know of a way I can stop my nn3d showing my own AIS target?

I don't like being chased by my own vessel....!

It sounds like an issue/setting with the AIS unit you are using.
What AIS are you using?

Thanks for the prompt reply, Johnny. I use an Easy TRX2-IS.

I would ask the manufacturer if they have a method of turning off the own ship AIS. They are sending the target into the NN3D along with other other received targets. Many units that offer "own ship target", have a way to turn the feature on/off.

I've posed the qn to the manufacturer. Thanks Johnny.

I've had a reply from weatherdock.de who recommend the following,
-----------
Use the programming-Tool. Connect to your TRX2 and select on GPS-output "Normal" or "None" - press "Save to easyTRX2"

Disconnect by pressing "Disconnect".

Then VDO-output is switched off.

Hi Piers,

Have you managed to sort it out? I have the same problem and I followed the suggested steps in the configuration of the TRX2 but it didn't work. Has it worked for you?

Any other suggestions welcome. I am stuck.

Thx!

I haven't been able to yet it yet. Been too tied up with work. Hopefully I will be able to check it later this week. Will let you know.

Yes, Programming the Easy TRX2-IS AIS as instructed by Weatherdock has worked. Now the nn3d doesn't show our own AIS signal. All working perfectly.
