Ken , a radio receiver picks up the AIS data. Either of your Garmin chart plotters will show that information, if the radio (listed above) has the receiver which picks up The AIS information. |

I have the Icom M324 Vhf Radio Black IC-M324 01 which has Common NMEA Interface
When receiving DSC information from another vessel, the IC-M324/G can transfer it to a navigational device via NMEA 0183 connectivity.
and MA-500TR AIS transponder compatible.
Which I think means I need to buy one of these http://www.icomamerica.com/en/products/marine/ais/ma500tr/default.aspx
I was out on my boat this past weekend and getting used to the RADAR. It's my first boat with RADAR and I'm really really liking it! It's amazing how many boats it sees that I don't. I'm trying to spot each boat as I see it on the RADAR and it's amazing! |

Just got the newest BoatUS magazine today (April/May 2018) and it has a several page article on AIS (starts on page 44). Great timing! |

The Icom MA TR 500 is a class B transceiver--it will both send and receive AIS information on its small screen. The Icon Transceiver is a good unit.
If you don't want the full transceiver and just the receiver there are going to be less expensive options. For example if you want a second radio, which has the
AIS receiver, plus hailer/fog horn, the Standard Horizon GX 2200 is a little over $300. _________________ Bob Austin
