radio signals make no distinction between land and sea.... (there might be less interference at sea and therefore the signal might travel further) so signals can be picked up inland as well. As for the led it should be flashing green when there is a conection between the ais and macenc (at least this is what mine does) got an CRTX ais receiver/transponder hooked up to a mini with macenc. You might want to check the baud rate at which the ais is transmitting its data and set macenc accordingly.
