Thanks to those that responded.  I’m now convinced I want an AIS.  The problem 
is which one.  It will be connected directly to the pc chart plotter.  The 
Raymarine, Garmin and SiTex (new to me) all look promising.

No I will connect it to the plotter.

  Joel, 
  Is this the SI-TEX unit that you were looking at?

  Although I don't have any of their hardware, I like the SI-TEX brand. They 
seem to occupy the "value" space. Value, like free wind, = good.  :-)

  Full disclosure: I'm just a day-sailor who rarely ventures outside the mouth 
of the St Johns River in Florida. Despite this, I bought an MilTech AIS 
receiver 6 or 7 years ago because I thought it was really cool and relatively 
inexpensive. It once picked up the signal from an old tugboat in for repairs at 
Green Cove Springs. w00t.

  As for AIS (receivers), do folks think that a radar-like display of 
approaching targets is OK or even perhaps optimal?
  Or, is it be important to be able to put the nearby boats in the context of a 
chart? 

  I know that many chart-plotters can interpret and display AIS data and 
predict potential collisions. But, might this be a good case for having a 
standalone unit, dedicated for nearby "situational awareness" - kinda like 
radar I suppose. Probably depends upon one's situation.  :-)
