Buy some real high-quality radios from Sailor instead. Their SSB is

OH BOY! Another incompatible, non-communicating data protocol that
won't talk to anything else on the boat! Who else uses Sparc (besides
Sun, that is)??

I do see there's a secondary NMEA interface back there, somewhere,
though.

The other problem you'll have is SERVICE.....

It is refreshing to know I could get it fixed in the Ukraine or
Estonia, but what happens over the rest of the planet....places like
USA, Canada, S America, Caribbean Islands, Hawaii, Tahiti, Oz, NZ??

Be great if you never leave Europe......er, ah, except maybe for the
Army Green color......

Pass....but thanks for pointing it out....

3600 planes with transponders are burning 8-10 million
gallons of kerosene per hour over the USA. R-12 car air
conditioners are responsible for the ozone hole, right?
