Quote:Is the SR161 the same as the AIS blackbox sold by Nasa?
No they are two different units. The SR161 offers the benefit of having LED status lights absent from the Nasa AIS receiver. Very helpful for debugging a connection.
Quote:can I use the SR161 in Europe?
Both units adhere to the ITU 1371 specification as such they are not geographic dependent. AIS uses VHF frequencies.
Please take the time to read the AIS overview..
