I am thinking about offering an all in one GPS and AIS receiver..

The unit connects and is powered directly by the Mac's USB port.
Product Specifications -
• Lightweight, compact design
• Rugged and waterproof fiberglass tube resistant to saltwater, vibration per IEC 60945
• Antenna height: 55 inches
• Low 1.2-watt power consumption at 5V DC
• Receives data from as far away as 30 nautical miles
• 16-channel WAAS and EGNOS enabled dGPS integrated into receiver
• Dual frequency: AIS1 161.975 MHz and AIS2 162.025 MHz simultaneously monitored
• Receives all AIS VDL message simultaneously on both channels
US$1,200
Is this price reasonable for an all in one AIS/GPS receiver?
