Transponder
Easy to install, it has its place behind a multiplexer that feeds data into my computer. With a small footprint, it finds its place without problems and appears robust construction. It is a product that gives confidence

The GPS antenna serves as an external antenna for the AMEC Camino 101A and works flawlessly. Easy assembly, just great.

Good device for integration into on-board electronics
Thanks to the antenna splitter, I only need the marine radio antenna for AIS transmission and reception, the radio and VHF radio.
the NMEA 2000 connection lets the AIS targets appear on the plotter, NMEA 0183 is also available.
( Position data for older radios without AIS but with DSC)
Unfortunately, there is no configuration program for Linux. (The interface is not recognized under wine)

Transponder with low power consumption and easy installation; AMEC warranty works well
I bought this transponder for convenient installation and low power consumption. It performs as advertised. Unfortunatly at the end of the first season it started to have an intermittent failure on switching between VHF and AIS mode. I mailed about this to the manufacturer or AMEC (alltekmarine.com) and they promptly offered a free replacement under warranty. This was executed dilligently by SVB. Email communication by svb could be improved, while email communication and service by the manufacturer was excellent.

Old technology
Transmitter receiver on sailing yacht, low energy consumption, easy installation, GPSNMEA 184 data looped to Ray49, OK In operation a single disaster, since the installation of the USB interface is a random product. Works now only on the equipped USB socket. After that everything was fine. The included AIS Viewer is useless since neither the filtering of the AIS targets is possible nor any alarm function is programmable. The promised function of a card slot is not installed. Only at 108 and 108W. See manufacturer. Not available on the 108S. Wrong description at the dealer.

Good price-quality ratio
Just one detail, put in an article that carries a registration card and is not like that in this model.

Works well, easy to program but gets overheated in summer
The Camino was easy to install and program and worked fine all spring. When the summer came it stopped sending AIS sentences. At first we contacted SVB to have it replaced under warranty but after we took it out it worked fine again so we started looking for a VHF antenna fault. This took some months and fall came and we enjoyed our transatlantic and Carribean vacations. The unit was working fine. Then spring came and the weather got warmer and the unit stopped sending AIS messages. We understood why. It's getting hot. We put spacers between the bulkhead and the unit and drilled some holes on the wooden panel it was fixed on. This did the trick. But it's frustrating to do this debugging job. It's not the users responsibility.
