AIS Receive functionality
When the SAILOR 6200 VHF series was introduced in January 2009 it was the intention to include AIS Receive functionality in the same way that others have done. After rigorous testing we have found that this functionality will not perform to the standards expected from SAILOR. Due to this it has been decided not to include AIS Recieve functionality in the first products in the SAILOR 6200 VHF series. Instead we are planning to develop two more radios (one especially for North America) that will include a high performance AIS Receive functionality.
