T&T: Class B AIS..

[Roger Bingham]

Hi All

Passagemaker Magazine October 2006 has an in depth article by Joe Minick.

He says there are five Class B transponders in for type approval at the
moment.

These are

Comar CSB200		 www.comarsystems.com
Shine Micro SM162B	 www.sealinks.com
Smart radio SR262		 www.milltechmarine.com
True Heading AIS-CTRX	 www.trueheading.se
Y-Tronic Yacht-AIS		 www.y-tronic.com

I haven't tested any of these links.

I hope that by the time AIS-B is common, a filtering system has been
developed to avoid the clutter of small boats in popular boating areas.
