CaraNZ 0 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I am looking at buying a new AIS transponder and am keen for advice on good AIS units in NZ We currently have a Watcheye AIS unit that came with the yacht we bought, which originates in Germany. I have not been able to find anyone in NZ that can reprogram it. Also I have not been able to make any contact with the company in Netherlands. Any help would there be much appreciated. Otherwise I am l in the market for a new one and keen to hear what people recommend. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,211 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Send it or give it to me. I've done a couple of these. Otherwise, what I'd recommend would depend on your instrument system. Currently I've been doing a few B&G V60b VHF units - with AIS transponder inside. If you use a B&G system, these let you make DSC calls direct from the MFD. If not, the a Vesper unit might be best...
