AIS Receiver Recommendations
* I'm using a Milltech 161 with Coastal Navigator and intend to get a
Watchmate for offshore (low power consumtion). *Gordon That's the one I'm looking at, I think it should interface with SeaClear II just fine. I used the 161 and SeaClear II going down the CA coast. Worked very nicely. I've also got a Watchmate and it is very cool there is a new upgrade (free) that gives it a graphical display and plots aspect at CPA. I have upgraded but have not used the new display as sea yet. Good stuff! I might go with the 162 if I were to do it again. --Tom. |

AIS Receiver Recommendations

... 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? Check out this: http://www.milltechmarine.com/AIS-300.htm Ansley Sawyer SV Pacem 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. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Cheers Martin I think they have something for under $200? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
