Seeker Wrote:All, I see the same questions in a number of areas and feel bad for asking again, but..While the SR161 will work, it is really a single channel unit, i.e. it has 2 receiving channels but only receives on 1 channel at a time. Having used both single and dual channel units, I find the dual channel units MUCH more accurate. I would recommend the SR162 over the 161. Comar also makes a dual channel receive-only in addition to a dual channel transponder for when (...if) the FCC ever gets it's act together....
I have Raymarine ST60 instrument series (Wind/Compass/Auto Pilot/Depth) and the Raymarine C80 plotter and GPS.
I just purchased the 4Kw Raymarine Radar and mount and intend to connect that to the C80 display as well.
I found the MacENC software and had to buy it because it is great! Now I have the desire to add the Bluetooth Multiplexer, AIS receiver (SR161) and antenna splitter to tie everything together and display the Radar/AIS/ and other instrument data on both the C80 and MacENC.
Am I missing anything?
