Hi all, When I bought Rebecca Leah she came with a class B transponder, and an antenna splitter ( for lack of a better description). I bought her from the owner of MILLTECH Marine. Doug is very knowledgeable about AIS. Thats all his company does. Contact him for your best options. I have all my electronics interfaced. It is very nice having boat and ship names on the plotter. Here in Puget Sound Its nice to be able to call them by name, and the freighters like it when you ask them their intentions before you blas out in front of them.
