Geof,
I bought a 1 year old Class A Simrad unit used as a demo unit for marine
shows on eBay for $1300. Please note, there are substantial differences
between Class A and Class B. One of which is the Class A has its own
internal GPS among many others.

Has anyone seen any used AIS class A transponders for sale? I do enough
off-shore sailing to want a class A instead of a class B.

I have found that my class B (ACR) works fine offshore. The big guys
see me and I see them.

Class B transponders also have GPS built in.

If a man goes way out into the woods all alone and says something,
is it still wrong, even though no woman hears him?
