SC70 AIS data conversion

[Nick]

Hello everyone,
I have a question about connecting the SC70 to AIS transponder. Any help is welcome. If the NMEA0183HS AIS data available on the data input, is the AIS data available on SC701 N2k port also or no?

Thanks
Nick

It will not output AIS data.

Thank You!,.....but, if the LAN data is not available, and heading data are available on one of the NMEA0183 data ports, the SC70 will automatically switch the heading data to N2K according to the settings in the automatic source priorities? Did I understand correctly? Thanks

Do you meant the AIS? The SC70 is the heading source and will output data to any ports as programmed to do during installation.

No, for AIS You answered, that is clear now.
This is a second question. I want just to confirm. As I understood, LAN heading is the highest priority, but it is possible to input another heading source to, for example, on DATA 1 port with NMEA0183HS.

What unit are you asking about? You posted under the chart plotters but haven't mentioned a model. I think FishTech, and those like myself following, are confused what you you are asking about.
