Wow, here's a load of bang for yer buck! Ais, gps, 1 x nmea 0183 multiplexer with nmea, wifi & usb outs. 106 quid on ebay. Tempting... ta for the link.

Obviously not .... which is why the OP is going to have to chop off the obsolescent RS232 / DE-9 interface and throw it in the bin.

I thought he confirmed in post #10 that he did want traditional serial - ie RS232 or something very like it.

I understands that he wants to connect the AIS receiver to a chartplotter NMEA 0183 input so he would chop off the 9-pin serial connector to access the NMEA output.

...which is RS232 serial.
You seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that "serial" denotes a kind of plug.

Good grief .... after 10k posts, many about PCs, NMEA, Seatalk and USB that would be something of an achievement.
I think you need to read the thread again Pete.

10k posts, you just can't give up needing to get the last word in. That was just one thread wasn't it?

I am always uncomfortable with buying something from which I must immediately chop something off before using it, especially when a few pounds more will secure something not only better but which does not need to be chopped about and can be fitted as per its instructions.
I am reliably told that if you are thrown into a lunatic asylum your peers will assure you that you are the only one who is in fact mad. Most of the electronics threads here adhere to that general principle.

I agree .... and that's a good summary of how this discussion started.
However, unlike the subject of this thread, when dealing with old or non-standard technology sometimes chopping is inevitable. A couple of weeks ago I need to access the electronic control unit on an old car where the manufacturer used a standard ODB socket for the serial connection but a non-standard ODB wiring inside the socket. The best approach was to raid my box of PC serial/crossover cables, long since gathering dust in the loft, and chop the end of one cable. Then dig out an old ODB cable from another box and chop off the ODB plug, open it up, de-solder the cable and re-solder the serial cable wires onto the approriate pins of the ODB plug.
This approach makes sense when dealing with 20 year equipment but I wouldn't want to buy current technology which required such levels of hacking. :ambivalence:

A garmin plotter like the OP has is out for you then, nmea goes in bare ends.

The AIS / muxer / DSC end of my network:
The chartplotter / course computer / SOG-1 / ST60 end of my NMEA + Seatalk network:
I just luuuurve bare ends. :encouragement:
