I stumbled upon this review and it looks to be a pretty badass VHF. http://www.panbo.com/archives/2016/1...ass_b_ais.html

Not sure many here would use AIS transmit, though I can speak from experience that big ships will see you better with it, especially offshore.

The wireless stations (with intercom?) look to be really useful. No need to have VHF radios all over the place now.

Again, fewer boxes and wires on the boat seems good.
