i agree we dont want to ignore them - being on the Solent some are genuine, many look like accidental - ie beacon has been set off, boat still in marina/moored
the issue is having to unlock/delete each time the alert signal has been recived, one i deleted this am had 20 alerts
open to suggestions

Unfortunately i sail mainly in the Solent (UK) and there are number numpties who keep setting off false "MOB messages"
now i agree we dont want to igore them, but is there a quck simple way to deactivate/delete the screen message??

currently i have to open the multiple MOB alerts, unlock, then delete... which is rather tedious when 1 'alert' can be 10+ messages on screen

help pls

Technical Q&A » MailsASail RedBox and Squid » 4/20/2021 9:35 am

I use MailASail RedBox for linking the loptop  (Del Rugged PC) to iridium to download. It worked fine using PredictWind option last year. now that has been discontinued i have moved to Squid
BUT now i am unable to get the link to work. it appears to do as before, but the RedBox auto-dial  doesn't happen, hence i am unable to download weather data

Does anyone have  experience  using this set up to suggest what i am doing wrong

Technical Q&A » B&G data being seen but Exped not displaying » 3/05/2021 10:14 am

my silence was i was offshore delivering the boat from Cadiz to UK for 10 days
there was nothing on screen (no position & no boxes);

managed to get it working by using NEMA 0183 as the data input, and moving the AIS link from a 'shared' USB serial-USB converter to its own USB socket

now to work out how to get ProAIS to see the AIS unit and get Expedition Squid weather info  'grab'  to work via the iridium redbox setup (it works fine via WiFi or hard cable)  :-)
