Having a VHF with DSC and integrated AIS/GPS provides REAL peace of mind in high traffic areas. But this one experience is not a positive one.The Matrix AIS/GPS (GX2200) makes AIS simple and easy right out of the box!!! I've always been comfortable with Standard Horizon. I've since completed the Rivers legs of the Great Loop where AIS was very helpful, even on a small VHF screen. Their conclusion was that, in their experience, you can have one newer Standard Horizon radio make the connection with a newer Garmin and another of the same model radio will not. In total they spent about eight hours trying to get the AIS data to show up on the Garmin. He came back a week later with another guy from his shop that had some ideas. He couldn't get the two, Garmin and Standard Horizon, to communicate. So I brought in a local marine electronics guy. I could never get the radio to provide its AIS data to my also brand new Garmin 1242. But holding on to a radio for four months seems excessive. I get that they must have had many people out sick. Then, last week, they advised they discovered they could fix it and would ship it out to me next week. After calling weekly for the past month, they agreed to just send me a new radio. ![]() ![]() Standard Horizon has had it now for four months.
