I had the Admiral call Defender today and order the Si Tex transceiver and
splitter. First time shopping at Defender and it looks like it won’t be the
last as they even honoured their weekend price (usual disclaimers).

Go for the Si-Tex -- it has both versions of NMEA (0183 and 2k), as well as USB
for the laptop. Their VHF splitter would be a good add-on, as well.

I’m looking for a transponder to interface with my pc charting software. I
consider AIS just another tool in my collision avoidance toolbox.

Mike,
Did you want a transponder or just a receiver? If just a receiver, consider
a VHF radio with AIS. I have a one interfaced with my chart plotter.
Also having an AIS can give a false sense of security. Not all vessels have
AIS.

Thanks to those that responded. I’m now convinced I want an AIS. The
problem is which one. It will be connected directly to the pc chart plotter.
The Raymarine, Garmin and SiTex (new to me) all look promising.
