Can anyone advise on this problem. My Vesper is only broadcasting Class A boat Names , but only showing class B MMSI numbers.
Is this a normal operating condition or is there a software update available to rectify this issue?
My aerial is transom mounted and will broadcast all the marina AIS local boats but by MMSI only.

Your question is a bit confusing as your AIS will only broadcast data for your own boat. Do you mean "receive" ?
Local class B boat names are only transmitted infrequently so will usually take several minutes longer than the MMSI.
