Default Any USED AIS Class A Transponders?

Larry,
This database is at 4 least years outdated. The Simrad model that has
the approval has been out of production for at least 4 years. My AIS ,
bought in the US, is at least 2 generations newer. Manufactured in
2007. Steve



Therein lies the big legal problem. The government bureaucrats are so far
behind the technology THEY are still posting 4-year-old data as VALID.
Panbo's website is much better up to date for millions less dollars.

I don't understand why CG and FCC can't get their act together on marine
comms/AIS/GMDSS. It all seems as if they are just baffled by anything but
the basic narrow-band FM transceivers. The local staff just looks
dumbfounded if you ask any of them, here.

If a man goes way out into the woods all alone and says something,
is it still wrong, even though no woman hears him?
