I will try and get a trace - I'm not near the devices for at least a few 
days.

Do please note my specific repro steps that the device has *nothing* on 
the input for some many seconds at the start of detection (and quite 
intermittent sentences thereafter - not 100% sure this isn't the actual 
issue). I dont think I see a problem if the input rate is quite high 
(that's my workaround, wait until there is plenty of AIS input and replug)
