As a solo fellow I would greatly appreciate a command mike to be situated in the cockpit so that I could use the VHF without having to leave the helm and squirm below.
I believe ICOM make one. I don't know if it includes AIS or what the power consumption is.
Santa doesn't come here anymore - I'm solo in more ways than just sailing :sorrow::encouragement:
That's encouraging to hear. I'll pop a note in the chimney :encouragement:Standard horizon make an external mic - It's actually way more than a mic and is a full remote control with a matrix display. I have the GX2100E radio and the RAM mic in the cockpit. Both are excellent pieces of equipment.
But if it fails you lose three items not one.Thank you for that. so having three in one box is a bonus, as well as simplifying installation.
Very good point John. Another way of expressing the same might be: only one thing to go wrong not four. If the GPS or the NMEA link cable failed, the AIS would not function as a proximity alarm and the DSC would not work on the radio.But if it fails you lose three items not one.
I have the gx2200E. How do you go about linking the AIS to a Raymarine A98. via the nmea? or do I to buy another expensive box?
