I had this fault show up many times, usually all I would do is cancel it but it would eventually show up again. In research it says it could be attributed to antenna connections. I have recently replaced my antennas (Shakespere), VHF's(Icom) and MFD's (Raymarine Axiom). Antennas came with new cables.
Hoping the new equipment would rid me of problem but nooooo!
I do have Ramarine AIS 100 splitter and Raymarine AIS 650 class B transceiver.
Further research into troubleshooting indicates using a VSWR meter and/or updating software of the transceiver.
I see SWR and VSWR meters on Amazon. What is the difference? Can you recommend a meter to buy to troubleshoot this issue? Looking at where these AIS boxes are in my boat I wonder if extension cables are needed/advisable to use with a meter?
Any help is appreciated.
