Hi,
If you are looking for an AIS receiver can I recommend www.milltechmarine.com <http://www.milltechmarine.com/> who provide an excellent AIS receiver that works well with MaxSea and C-MAP. We are using the SR162G and VHF aerial splitter with excellent results. Our only disappointment was MaxSea's inability to accept the NMEA stream of both GPS and AIS on the same COM port, however, this was easily resolved with a $5 'Y' cable.

We now have a SM #209 and have installed a Furuno 1724 C/NT chart plotter at both the Nav and Steering station. In addition we have also added NASA's AIS recieve only unit to keep aware of larger ships. We find it better to have information on radar and the chart plotter available in both areas of the boat. As an example going into GIB we were able to track ships on the radar below and keep a view of the harbor at the steering station. Or split screen it. Based on our use of C-Map and other software like Max Sea we prefer the C-Map product based on the quality of the displayed information and detail. Best wishes and fair winds.
