Just sailed up from Singapore to Langkawi via the Melaka Strait with
AIS running and found no buoys transmitting AIS data. Several base
stations are on the way but that is all.
Am running SR161 that gives a range of about 14 miles with the antennae
on top of the mizzen.
A very useful tool. Used it with the demo version of AIS-yacht which I
have found to be the most responsive and easiest to use and read.
