The most important piece of electronic gear on your boat?? Clearly, on anyone's boat, it a VHF Radio. I will not try for a bargain basement price VHF. With all the modern features of GNSS, GPS, AIS (receive mode only, for now), I installed the ICOM 605 Fixed mount VHF with GPS/AIS. It's a little pricey,but, well worth it in the long term. Also, a radio is only as good as it's antenna. Check out the Shakespeare Galaxy Ratchet Mount. Hope this helpsWow ! That's quite the setup. I would love a Flir, but they are proud of those baby's.
All, I have one last concern/issue. I have a Standard Horizon GX2200 which has AIS but it only has NMEA0183. Do I convert this (150.00), buy another radio(400.00), or buy an AIS black box from Furuno(700.00)?
