Stus-List VHF / AIS

Hey, I do like Standard Horizon gear and I have had a few of their VHD radios. Nice gear, good audio quality, innovative, etc. My comment is this: The SH radios are NMEA 0183 only. This is too bad because NMEA 2000 is much easier to integrate. If you don't have any other electronics, and do

That only holds true if you have a NMEA 2000 plotter. My plotter and computer are both 0183, so a 2000 radio would do nothing for me. Also note that the AIS integrated radio is redundant if you have or are going to get AIS transmitting gear. Joe Coquina From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cn
