I have the B&G V50. It is the same as the HS-35. Like Josh, I love it. AIS receive only and works fantastic. I got it when defender had the V50 and the H50 wireless remote for 350 last fall. The CPA alarms really work well. Sometimes too well, lol. It goes freakin crazy in my marina. Several boats seem to have their AIS on all the time. My network is NMEA 2K and worked perfectly when I plugged it all in. I had added a GPS antenna on my transom and use the VHF antenna on top of the mast with no splitter. For most of my sailing is in the Mississippi Sound, I find receive seems to satisfy most of my needs. Although, when sailing at night with all the fishing boats here, transmit would be nice and I may add this winter if Santa is good to me.

The AIS is only receive, but works very well. The transmission and receive are much clearer than my previous iCom radio.

It looks to me that the bad part is that it doesn't transmit AIS data, just receive? It looks like it will work with a single VHF antenna and is about half the estimated price of the other unit. Fewer features, yes but maybe a better fit for some of us? http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1%7C344%7C2028691%7C2207355&id=2199069 Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Oct 12, 2016 8:29 AM, "Frederick G Street via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Well, my prediction a couple of months ago that it would be a while before we saw combined AIS/VHF transceivers has been proven wrong: http://www.panbo.com/archives/2016/10/standard_horizon_gx6500_a_loaded_vhf_radio_also_integrated_with_class_b_ais.html As soon as these are approved and available through distribution, I’ll be able to price them for C&C listers; let me know if you’re interested (Joel… :^) — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
