Anybody has seen this? It is a South African Company and sells a
portable AIS, powered by 6 AA cells. I do not know if it is sell in
USA. Anybody knows a dealer in US for this brand?

Sorry, it is not AA cells, it is a rechargeable battery, which is
better ..

I'm more interested in:

Lots of us already have AIS receive/plot capabilities. This little jewel
adds the transmitter function to our existing AIS display receivers at 2 or
12 watts. Very interesting.

But, alas, not a single PRICE quoted.....which usually means Rolex
pricing...

Somebody answer my question on the Portable, and says the price for it
is US$ 2,000.00, indeed Rolex price.. With this money at hand I can buy
a SR161 + Raymarine C80 Chartplotter + One navionics Gold region ..
