Martin,

I have a Milltech AIS receiver that streams data to the Cap'n on the
laptop. It is very nice to be able to see the data from the ships as to
their course and their destination. I remember one time that I made a tack
different from what I might have done just because I could see that the
tanker coming down the bay was going to turn east rather than west.

Only one additional thought. How about a Class B transceiver?

I believe Larry had good things to say about this one. Seems like a good
unit, but I don't have any direct experience... yet.
