AIS remote monitoring...Is there an app that I can download that would tell me if my AIS is transmitting. My boat is in a marina about 75 miles from my home. I would like to see from my home if it is on. Ideas?

My wife has Marine Traffic on her phone. One day she said there was a boat headed straight at us. There were no other boats in sight. We watched that boats' icon pass right through our icon and keep going. Ghost boat?

Folks, please Do Not use marinetraffic.com or any similar apps while on your boat as a substitute for an actual AIS receiver.
Only an actual AIS receiver (or transceiver) will reliably show AIS targets in the vicinity of your boat in real time. This cannot be done with a phone or tablet.
