Do you have instruments using n2k bus, then you might want share info with that media, if not then nmea0183 serial interface is maybe cheaper.
More or less all VHF radio have either interface or both. Look that it will output data out, e.g VDM.
Question is then what is your budget?
I am happy Icom user,… m605 comes with integrated ais receiver. Can talk n2k and nmea0183.
i’d recommend NOT getting a cobra MR F77. it has nmea in and out, built in gps which has been flaky from day one and I regret not sending it back under warranty. it’s external gps requires 4800 baud which is a right pain as most U-blox and other devices default to 9600…
