AIS Now?
I am not able to settle this question myself and I hope Larry or similar can
help. I have Capn 8.3, a "bunch" of GPS units, etc., etc., an easy position to mount an additional VHF antenna (on the backstay Questus), and enuf know-how to set the system up well, but I cannot determine if there is an economical AIS receiver I can use to display AIS info on my laptop (or radar or whatever ... ). I know about the issue of using a multiplexer to accommodate 2 talkers under the current NMEA regime. Is there a "box" that I can use NOW (I mean in the next 3 weeks)? -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://home.comcast.net/~kerrydeare |

Yes, there are quite a few: http://www.jackrabbitmarine.com/Detail.bok?no=3139 http://www.jackrabbitmarine.com/Detail.bok?no=3800 http://www.navsoftware.com/ais-recei...r/prod_12.html http://tinyurl.com/4xnwx5 http://tinyurl.com/4tf8jl |
