Hi All - a couple questions...
1. I currently have a B&G V60 Fixed Mount VHF with AIS Receiver but no AIS Transmitter.
I want the capability to transmit, but it appears there's no component upgrade to my existing unit to enable this, so I must replace the entire V60 unit and purchase a V60-B...
Finally got around to install the new AIS:

Went the splitter route instead of getting a second antenna.
Okay so NMEA 2000 right ? no problem.. except that my vhf is IC-M422 which is NMEA0183..
MANUAL ...
Not sure how to pick the right AIS transceiver for me..
It seems class A>B as it gets priority.
Other than that, there are so many products, I dont know how to pick one that is right for me.
I am also on a budget...
I am using INavX v 5.6.14 on my IPad Pro (IOS v 15.5). When I go to Privacy, Local Network INavX does not appear and so I can’t link it to my boat’s wifi.
I have Airplane mode turned off and Location Services set to Always for INavX.
Can anyone give me any suggestions please?
Many thanks.
Good afternoon on this windy wet Sunday.
I am considering getting a EM Track AIS with antenna splitter to use the excising masttop VHF antenna. I have a SH 2200 VHF with AIS receiver will this cause any problems since then the AIS transponder uses the same antenna as the VHF radio with AIS...

Hi all, first post here.
I am trying to figure out if now a days, in the market, there is any VHF hand held radio with AIS (B) transceiver integrated?
I have not been able to find one, as what I am looking is small device that can offer the 2 systems combined. I first thought in a AIS class B...

I have enjoyed the benefits of my NASA AIS receiver and display for several years. I especially enjoy the fact that it is a low AH user and that it is a stand alone device, needing only GPS input.
I now have a problem. When the unit is powered up it displays nearby targets as it always has...
There is a long thread in this forum about my search for the perfect AIS (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/electronics/164993-ais-should-i-buy-2.html). Thanks to the helpful contributions of several members, I found exactly that, the perfect solution (for me): Vesper Marine black box AIS combined...
I have just bought a new AIS Receiver - MXA-5000 and am trying to hook it up to my PC. MY PC uses C-map.
I installed everything according to the instructions that came with the instrument. When I connect the AIS receiver to my computer and my VHF antenna, the AIS power light comes on but I...
We have a raymarine E120 chartplotter, the raymarine radar, raymarine below decks autopilot, sirius weather input, and a third party AIS transceiver running together. The more people work on them, the worse the problem gets.
Generally,

It is Boat Show time here in snowy Seattle. So I think it is time for me to purchase an AIS receiver to install in my C320. The type of sailing we do on busy Puget Sound and not so busy San Juan Island and Canadian Gulf Islands suggests that an AIS receiver would be a worthy upgrade.
I have...
