Got AIS on Standard Horizon Matrix GX2150 VHF radio back up - 2012

The dot in the middle with the line on it is us. The range is set at .5 of a mile.July 2012 - Currently at Marina Kona Kai Shelter Island San Diego, CA
 
We got the Standard Horizon Matrix GX 2150 VHF radio back up and running with the AIS. It was working but not the AIS as we disconnected it during the autopilot install. We re-connected the AIS and fixed the wire I broke during the Pactor modem install. Now the VHF is working as it should. I think we can still go a step further by sending AIS data to the Garmin chart plotter but that is something I do not want to spend time on for now as there are too many more important projects we need to complete.
There are about five ships around us. This picture was taken with the flash on and it came out better than the one below without the flash on.
This is listing the ships names and we could select one and just call it like a phone.
