By using the slider-button, you can easily set
the easyTRX3 into a pure receiving mode (RX
only). From now on the easyTRX3 will not
send out any AIS data.
A small window is coming up as a
confirmation which you can closed by
pressing “OK”.
Due to IMO international regulations this
functionality is deactivated by default. Long-
range AIS is designed for sea-going vessels
which are getting out of the range of coastal
base stations.
Once the Long-range AIS is activated, every 3
minutes a position report is send out to AIS
satellites on special frequencies. The satellites
will redirect the received report to coastal
base stations. This enables the persistent
onshore visibility of vessels on Trans-Atlantic-
Trips.
By entering the receiving range of a coastal
base station with activated long-range AIS, it
might be possible, that the base station shuts
down your functionality automatically
