"Let them eat cake?" And small comfort when one of them collides with

highly recommended safety device whether you have radar or not. I would
still use one even with AIS -- you can never have enough backup --
depending on a single device is just plain foolish.

and which do you think COSTS more, a Radar Transponder or an AIS
Transponder????

C.A.R.D radar transponder: $535

Class B AIS transponders (just coming on the market) are over $1,000
Class A AIS transponders are $4,000-5,000.
