Panbo: The Marine Electronics Weblog
NMEA 0183 over Ethernet, on Mar Azul
Mar_Azul_NMEA_0183_diagram_courtesy_Bob_Ebaugh.JPG

Bob Ebaugh got some GX2100 installation help over on the forum, and that gave me a chance to bug him for some more information on the interesting system he's put together. Check it out above: two laptops connected wirelessly and simultaneously to MFD, AP, VHF/rxAIS, and Internet. Bob's a pilot and ex-networking engineer who didn't think he could write up the project well, but I think he did just fine...

Navicom RT-650 MOB, doing it all, somewhere else
Navicom_RT-650_MOB.JPG

An interesting new product I didn't see at the Miami Boat Show is this NaviCom RT650 MOB.  The company site is mostly in French, but MyBoatsGear.com links to a catalog PDF in English, and Foxtrot Marine has the most detail I can find.  This DSC VHF seems to have...

The ME survey, just two more days
Panbo_MTA_electronics_survey_invest_data1_cPanbo.JPG

Since announcing the marine electronics survey on Feb. 8, and showing a bit of data last week, nearly 800 boaters have taken the time to fill one out.  Thank you so much!  That's a decent data set, I'm told, but 1,000 would be even better.  So, by way of encouragement, MTA has again done a little data digging, seen above and below...

Medusa Power Analyzer Pro, & some results
Medusa_Power_Analyzer_Pro_cPanbo.JPG

The average boater doesn't need a power analyzer like this, but battery scrooges and testers like me might be interested.  This Medusa Research Pro is actually designed for radio control hobbyists but its features and value appealed to my inner geek, and so far I've been really pleased with what it can do...

Dry Case for iPhone & Touch, gaumy but good
Dry_Case_test_cPanbo.JPG

"Gaumy" is great Maine word for something kind of messy or awkward (there are numerous spellings), and it came to mind when I tested the Dry Case above.  Its various doodads and fairly large size almost completely suck the elegant simplicity right out of an iPhone or an iPod Touch.  However, because you can easily suck the air out of the case, it's not only exceptionally waterproof, but the screen and even the iPhone camera, still work fine, which is more than can be said for the Otter Case also discussed after the break...
