ais "RADAR"
eric freedman
Hi,
I just finished installing this AIS "radar" unit on my boat and it works great. It only took 2 hours to install. I believe it is a very worthwhile investment Fair Winds, Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite http://www.allgadgets.co.uk/ag/product.asp?pf%5Fid=AG3928 <http://www.allgadgets.co.uk/ag/product.asp?pf%5Fid=AG3928&dept%5Fid=7> &dept%5Fid=7

Eventhough the word is in "quotation Mark", please do not use "Radar"
with AIS. On your radar screen, what you see is what you get WHERE YOU ARE AND NOW (assuming everything is working properly). With AIS, what you get is what the other ships ARE TELLING YOU..... not only can it be incorrect but more imPortantly it is RARELY timely. On a recent crossing from Turkey to Tunisia, I followed on my AIS screen a vessel on a somewhat similar route and found that I could not have relied on AIS for collision avoidance.
