Do you have an AIS transmitter? === No, don't have an AIS receiver eiher, although I've thought of getting one. Check thhis out. They offer free AIS receivers. http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/def...px?level0=100# ==== Interesting. * It looks like they are trying to expand their network of base/relay stations, not supply AIS receivers to boats. *The receivers aren't all that expensive of course, and some of he new VHF units have AIS built in, a trend which I expect to continue. *The incremental cost to a *manufacturer is peanuts once the circuit boards go into mass production. * The biggest advantage to having AIS integral to your VHF is that the need for an additional antenna is eliminated, and so is the need for an extra box to install. *I've already got too many electronic gizmos on board. Being boatless now (Sob! Weep!) I keep in touch through thoe AIS maps and this: http://nyharborwebcam.com/ The AIS maps allow you to build a fleet of vessels to keep in touch all around the world. It seems as if every row boat in New York has an AIS transmitter. === That's a good web site, thanks. Agreed. Very good site. |
