I would like to admit I don't like big ocean going cruisers , tankers etc they scare me. ( especially at night ) . I'm bringing my boat from Scarborough to Sydney in a few weeks so I wanted AIS . Oh and I'm cheap .
Looked over the forum and went with Daisy AIS , gstar4 GPS puck and laptop running open cpn . Tested it today and it all seems to work ok from the shore. Will take the output to my chart plotter on board as well . If I can do it ,any one can . Pretty straight forward instructions from all suppliers.
