Default AIS receiver

Well Daniel, you should be able to sail ship without an AIS so it basicly
only for convinience and fun. And stepping up from a one channel receiver
(like nasa) to a 2 ch scanning receiver is already quite advanced taken the
fact that it's for fun.

I wouldnt aim higher than the Easy AIS. In fact I find it quite attractive.
It even comes with a splitter for you to utilise your existing VHF antenna.

However I've seen it cheaper than the provided link.

Hi Bjarke,
you are perfectly right, an AIS receiver on a sailboat is mainly for fun
but, pleae, don't tell it to my wife... we all know that it is an
extremely necessary piece of electronics for safety... :-)

Please if you still remember it, I will appreciate if you let me know a
cheaper place for the gadget: my mail address is in clear. Is it in the
Europe area?

Regards
Daniel
