Quark output default is 38,400 unless you have changed it previously.

Excellent work and what speed you are progressing at. Do you find time to mow the lawn or watch the TV at all..... Well done.
I have spent a good part of the day tracking down a water leak in the Discovery 2 TD5 this time. Might have sussed it but who knows with a Landy

Re the nmea issues, those buffer strings look like your serial config is not set correctly on transmitter and/or receiver.
They should be
Baud rate 4800
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Handshake None
Check both ends match this config,my money would be on the data bits value being set differently.

Thanks for that! You cant change much on the quark….just the speed

next boat switch to N2K!
didn't know NMEA0183 supports 9600baud, just checked, it doesn't
hence the crap you're getting.Either 4800 for gps or 38400 for AIS.
I'd expect both elecwhatever and c70 to have 2NMEA0183 ports and that you can configure what each does and then wire them together. which means you have to mess with + and - or if there's no - go to GND and all that choc block fooling and swearing.
So, try bit by bit, but why do you care about gps from the ais thingie to the plotter? hasn't the plotter got another antenna, or you want that to go to the dsc vhs?
slightly confused tbh

wtf is that?
is that the interface of the AIS thingie as the C70 looks at it???
if so N1in is fine, N2in and N3in should be 4800.
more confused...
PS. missed last page's posts so repeated a few things...

No plotter dedicated gps. Wanted to use the quark as it does gps / ais over WiFi for iPad etc.
the interface is the quark setup app. 3 of those settings are greyed out on my particular model.
Thats really useful Vas. I’ll set to 4800 and mess about with wires. Last resort is nmea 0183 to seatalk converter. I was stuck with older tech as I wanted to retain the radar….that works great! ??

OK, if it's the ais receiver (I guess, right?) interface config page, then it's right, NMEA0183 INs are NOT available, you want to configure the OUTs of the device Mr G!
the last one is the one to turn to 4800 for gps compatibility.
HOWEVER, IF this thing is also a multiplexer, it's going to combine the lot in ONE output and it looks like that's what it's doing.
IF I'm right on that and you don't have any other interface to configure other outputs, then you have to turn this N0183out speed to 38400, configure one in port of the C70 to also be 38400, join them and hope that together with AIS sentences, the gps ones will survive the extra speed ?
tbh, I thought that gps must be 4800, but when I reached the topic of multiplexers I decided that N2K is the way to go

Ok…..the fog is clearing! It is a multiplexer I think
i bet the c70 can’t cope. I got some traffic at 38400 but all unrecognised. Not sure I can configure anything on the c70 ???

cannot believe C70 doesn't do AIS! just googled a bit, OK, seems like it has ONE N0183 in and one out. Surely you can configure it from the interface!
also once the lot is fired up, leave it for 5-10mins to pickup some boats and start sending the data over, take some time to pick up classA ships if there are many about...
thread just today over in PBO maybe helpful?
NMEA connections to Raymarine C120W

It defo does AIS….got a logo with a slash through it

may need that, if you check the manual of the C70 it may mention what it's using for it's N0183 protocol, thought that was fixed and not moving about as they went along...
at least it's cheap enough (hope it's also available

It is however…….as I have the ais logo….I have later software. I need to check the port setting on the plotter. I couldn’t find it but the manual says it’s there. Will report back after more button pushing ?? Thankyou Vas and others for your comments
