Well...this might seem like something I should have known, but...I didn't. The AIS tracking/reporting system works through the VHF Antenna. (That is where I hooked it up) and VHF only works line of sight (about 10 miles)....so...once we go past that...the AIS does not get out and report any more. The Garmin guy at the St Petersburg boat show told me this.
But this still does not explain why we have been in this area for 3 weeks and no signs of us on the reporting web sites...oh well...it is should work again.
