I still don't know why they're dragging their asses on this. I'm hard
pressed to see any downside to class B. One reason I installed the
Watchmate is that is should work fine with a class B transponder if
one should ever become available legally for US flagged boats.

On a slightly different note I'm looking for an AIS plotter for the
computer. The version of SeaClear that came with the AIS works but
has some bugs and I think I'd like something more like a maneuvering
board or PPI. Anybody have a favorite PC app for this?
