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This database is at 4 least years outdated.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.

Ok, Larry, I have an Inquiry in with the Maritime Rules Chief at the
FCC, but he is on vacation, till the middle of August, so I have another
Inquiry with his Stand-in, who should get back to me, in the next day or
two.... and I will get the definitive answer, for Licensing, for both
Vessel and Operator, for both classes of AIS Transponders.....
