I'm planning on getting a AIS receiver for my boat this season, I
don't need a display, just the data stream.

Anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks

Any particular reason not to go to a transponder?
It will make sure you get seen ...

Imagine if every sport boat within 20 miles of you is squawking AIS.
What a jumble!
However, if I were offshore in the shipping lanes, I think it would be
good to squawk.
I'm using a Milltech 161 with Coastal Navigator and intend to get a
Watchmate for offshore (low power consumtion).

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.
