Tim attempted to post the following:

I am in the process of selecting the electronics to be installed in a Nordhavn 64 now under construction.  My electronics vendor is recommending that I use a Furuno satellite compass for navigation input into the autopilot (Simrad AP 25s).  These compasses are expensive (over $6K installed) and IC"b,b"m not sure they are worth it.  Any comments from members of this list would be appreciated.
Thanks!  Tim

Please note:  Recently it appears that Verizon customers may be having problems posting to the PUP and T&T lists.  We hope these issues have been addressed.  Please advise scottebulger@comcast.net if you believe your postings are not appearing on the list.  Thanks.
