• Experience with AIS trasmitters ??
  • Yes I have the WM AIS 1000 and love it.
    • BTW I'm using a Toshiba netbook for navigation -- it uses a fraction of the power of my full laptop.

      • I think it's the Shine Micro AIS-BX Class B transceiver
      • AIS transmitter
        • Should work fine.
          • Are you getting a VHF splitter, Neil?
            • No, we already have a separate VHF antenna for the AIS receiver
              • Is the AIS antenna going to be at the masthead?
                • No, on the transom. Give us about 20 mile range seeing other vessels with out current AIS receiver
                  • It's line-of-site, Neil
                    • Our AIS antenna is on the stern rail
