Thanks Bob, I knew there must be one. Just ordered it from Defender, said it was available, of course it's almost January! It's only $349.95 right now...

Talking about these dsc/ais radios, wonder if it would be helpful if our mmsi numbers were available on this site somewhere, with our other data. Would be nice to have that available when boating in shared waters. |

There is a place where you can list your MMSI # in your profile and any registered CBRAT can see it.

Thanks Charlie. Maybe I should have looked first. That data spot must have been there for a while, as I went to check at my profile and see I had already listed it... Colby |

Yeah, tell me about it. Georgia has cancelled everything after their debacle two weeks ago and VA has declared a state of emergency too. I don't think it'll be too bad here but will check out the generators just in case. You should be in FL with your family!

I know
They will be in a state of shock when they return.
Some docs have reported cases of frostbite!!
Admiral got us a nice elevator lift and canopy on order.
We having problems finding an electrician with longshoreman insurance to install electrical service to the lift. It is a new requirement and all of the companies she contacted are booked for 6 months and no free estimates either. It is $120 and just for an estimate. I think we will have a lift and canopy but no juice. |

I wonder if the SH 2200 has the ability to not see itself if you add an active AIS. If it does, is that owner/operator switchable -- just for kicks. It has to be that way or you will be seeing yourself as a "Dangerous Target"
If not, it can be set to "ignore" at the factory, if it is still under warantee.

Harvey, I'm sure that is somewhere in the 150+ page instruction book. Since I don't plan to add active AIS, I'll leave that as an exercise for the student!

That is a lot of user power in a single unit. As it notes, it does require separate antennas, or maybe run both of those coax to a splitter to single antenna. Might depend on the Standard Horizon installation specs.
I highly recommend an AIS receiver at least. The pluses far out way the negatives. The fears of MFD clutter are really unfounded, and the benefits of nearly instantaneous CPA and TCPA (Closest Point of Approach and Time to Closest Point of Approach) are way good.
Yes, there are always AIS units left on in harbors and at anchor. Some of them are being used as anchor alarms, others are monitoring working voltages, and some are just ..... on. Yup, they are a pain, so turn down the alarm volume. A small bother for the added safety of the AIS, that sees around corners and over islands. Something your radar cannot do.
Many of the pluses for the SH 6500 are found on the ICOM 605 which could be a good option if you are looking to upgrade without adding the B class AIS transceiver.
