AIS Diagram

We have loved our AIS (automatic identification system) receiver. It’s like a transponder in an airplane. Problem is, it didn’t always work and we only had the “receive” model. We could see THEM, they couldn’t see US! This is the schematic block diagram of installing the NEW AIS system which does both. It WAS like pulling teeth, but we finally got it to work. And now…..THEY see US TOO. Very handy when meeting LARGE CARGO SHIPS at 2 a.m……anywhere.
