I used a RayMarine C80 to display the targets, but I also had AIS output
available to my laptop. The C80 would display a "no AIS" alarm when I was
in fringe ares where a single ship's signal would fade in and out. This
caused the alarm to keep going off and there's no way to disable this.

If your own vessel has AIS would that silence the alarm? Of course then you
clutter up your display with your own vessel. Would the Raymarine units be
smart enough to know to ignore it's own vessel's signal?

If it can handle seeing it's own vessel then that'd take care of the 'no
AIS' alarm. Or at least make it a way to failsafe it's own signal.

No it would not, normally as your AIS Receiver would not hear or decode
your own AIS Transmitted signal.

Assuming, of course, your AIS receiver is integrated with your AIS
transmitter, not using these little separate receivers we are using.....(c;

As orders for 300+ ton AIS transponders dries up, manufacturers will be
forced to service the pleasure boats to keep selling with cash flow.
Prices will drop, then. Shouldn't be too long.

We have handheld GPS, handheld VHF radio, where is my handheld AIS??
Remember the VHF only has to receive, so the larger bulky batteries
wouldn't
be required.

The SR-162G uses little power and is a stand-alone AIS/GPS receiver.
Milltech has a bundle with Coastal Explorer on sale for your laptop for
$759. Power the SR-162G off a little gelcell in your laptop briefcase....

Voila...portable, independent AIS with full navigation system from Coastal
Explorer. Will that do it?...(c;

Maybe if I had really big hands ;-)
Handhelds are generally consume little power, easily stowable,
generally
waterproof and are at hand when you need them.
