I was not impressed with commercial AIS class B transponders. They seemed bloated, expensive and some of them were particularly power-hungry. Also, my boat is rather small and I have very little room for "nav" instruments, so I didn't want a huge enclosure inside plus two external RF cables, one for VHF and one for GPS. So I set out to create my own "lean and mean" design and I sailed with it for 2 years. I was not impressed with commercial AIS class B transponders.
