Fixed Mount VHF recommendation w/ AIS and 2 handsets

[theBigKahuna]

I'm looking to replace our rather buggy Raymarine Ray55. We've already got a VESPER 800 for 2 way AIS, but the VHF units I'm seeing that present AIS data all have at least a receiver... which is fine (I hope).

1. The fixed mount will be at the nav panel.
2. Would like a 2nd handset @ helm.
3. Either utilize our VESPER feed (NMEA) or present AIS data

Vessel usage is generally U.S. SE coastal w/ trips into Carribean (VIs, Puerto Rico, etc).

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I'm not finding a whole lot of useful info searching 'the google'....

Cheers

The Standard Horizon GX2000 can accept AIS messages but has no internal AIS. Ours works well with the Vesper 8000. It supports a remote Mike.
