My documentation is to hand and the hex ID is an odd number of digits - 15

Ships radar is un encoded - and transmits on the same bands hence a Radar set has Interference rejection to try and minimse this - seen as a ring of noise when a ship passes close by to you. I think what the above poster is meaning is that when his radar is transmiting the RTE is picking up his...

Had something similar on a S1 - though it my case it was caused by the bloody thing loosing its calibration this was traced in the end to a solder splash from the manfacture (though I pointed it out!). Also the software has had a lot of updates - worth rasing a ticket with Raymarine?

These will work but may suffer a bit when the boat swings around. I use a usb adaptor like this http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_detail.php?pd_id=361&pl1_id=1&pl2_id=44 with a high gain omni directional atenna like this...

Second Steve at PD riggers

The other way to avoid the power off problem is to buy one with a removable front panel - they tend not to be PIN protected, so all that you loose is the stored FM stations if you fully power down. Standard automotive units seem to last quite well enough down below. I have used...

Sorry to be pedantic but M2 and Ch 80 are not the same M2 is UK only and is 161.425MHz and 80 is a Duplex Channel (Port Control) with the Ship transmitting on 157.025MHz and Shore Station transmitting on 161.625MHz and a standard International Channel. 80 shouldn't be in use for race control...

Well he might be have a bit of fun in the Irish sea as in Holyhead for one the marina and the club launch run on M1/37 -he wont find it in the standard international channel set as it is a UK specific
