Hello!
we are heading to Indonesia and have read that aa AIS sender is required.
We currently have a Raymarine 350 receiver and it appears we need to upgrade to an AIS 650.

Can any one help me with information about whether this is a straight swap and whether it will work with our E7 display and i70 Instrument
display?

Or maybe some one has a completely different and far better suggestion?

Thank you for any and all help.
Neill

Just an update.
We changed the AIS 350  to an GME AISS 120 as it was much cheaper. It all worked perfectly.
We also added a GME AISS 120 antenna splitter to use the antenna at the top of the mast. That also works.
And finally we added a YakBak (http://www.yakbitz.com/YakBak.aspx) which sends the AIS information to Navionics on our plotters.

Test sail was from Brisbane to Bundaberg.
A ship in the shipping channels called us by name to agree who was passing which side.
A tug with barge in tow called us out at sea to advise us that he had a long tow.
And we could easily see what the idiot who passed too close in high seas and at night was doing.

Definitely a good decision
