I downloaded the Quark config tool in an attempt to change the Quark baud rates to send (NMEA OUT ) on 38400 and also receive on 38400. But that config tool is saying it’s connecting, but I don’t think it’s changing anything. Every time I reboot the Quark the config tool says the baud rate on both is 9600. Even though I hit config and also powered off for 30 Secs. I’ve been on it all day trying different stuff and it’s not working
Hi, It sounds like the configuration tool didn’t talk to A024 properly.
Can you take a screenshot of the configuration tool page, so we can check it? It will be good to provide your ‘device manager’ page as well.
Do you maybe want to try it on another computer? Anyway, keep us updated, please.
Thank you for replying and suggesting a different laptop and also a screenshot of the Device manager. I will do this on my next visit and keep you posted. My alternative plan is to find a different NMEA source that is configured to transmit at 4800. It seems that the Raymarine C120 can only transmit and receive at the same rate, so if I want AIS incoming from Quark at 38400 then I must also transmit from Raymarine at 38400, but if Quark cannot be configured to receive at NMEA at 38400 then I will have a problem.
I do have Seatalk onboard. Do Quark do a seatalk NMEA converter that can work with the A024 or would I have to replace the A024?
You can certainly config the NMEA input as 38400 so better to give it a try.
A027 support Seatalk input and will convert Seatalk data into NMEA 0183 format. We don’t have Seatalk converter only product but you maybe interest our A031, which supports Seatalk and three ports of NMEA 0183 inputs.
Questions
The A024 is showing “connected A026” is that normal?
I re-downloaded the A024 config tool, but it showed A026I have tried the following
Change baud rate in config Tool>hit Config>hit Disconnect> reboot Quark
Change baud rate in config Tool>hit Config>Nothing is transmitted by Quark except the AIS data.
As soon as I change the Chartplotter to baud rate 4800 the NMEA data flows from Quark with the AIS data.
How can I check if the Chartplotter is actually sending on 38400? Perhaps it only sends on 4800?
Any thoughts welcomed.
