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?

Hmmm $1200 USD, plus MMI registration,,, not to likely, this year anyway,
I'd rather put the money toward a new main.

Cheers
Martin



I think they have something for under $200?
