The nasa ais engine works well with the C80 and is good value.

Have fitted a Easy 2 to a E120 will be the same as for the C80 no problems and works well.

Look at the Comar units, constant 2 channel reception.
The cheaper models flop between A & B so misss 50% of all incoming data

I fitted an EasyAIS to my C80 with no problems. Note that the EasyAIS can take a fast heading input (NMEA) from a course computer and multiplex this onto the output together with the AIS data. I also fitted a 'stubby' aerial to the pushpit for the AIS and this could later double up as an emergency VHF if required. I pick up targets 19 miles away with the current setup.
An earlier post suggested that using a splitter can give some sugnal loss.
Just change the C80 port speed and that it.
