Hello all,
So a new owner of a Garmin 800 AIS and now have to get an ais number. Two options for registering.... boat us if I plan on staying in us waters or fcc If I ever plan to venture to the Bahamas. Will be researching further but the fcc appears that I also need a license? What if I go the simple route now and register as only a us boat, can I upgrade easily later on if I choose to cross to Bahamas??
Also on product programFor ais they say enter ship name, call sign, etc...... what is a call sign?
thanks
Greg
