The problem seems to be the software. I have been told that the "AIS Connection Lost" alarm goes off whenever the unit has been receiving data, but doesn't get anything new for two minutes. That means whenever a ship goes out of range, you get the alarm. If a ship is on the fringe of your reception area, you get the alarm several times.
I sailed from Oahu to Lahaina the other day and got at least 15 false
alarms.
Raymarine has acknowledged this problem but doesn't have a solution, except to put up with it.
