The RS40-B is a versatile communication device that combines a VHF radio with a Class B AIS transceiver. In addition to receiving AIS targets, it also transmits your boat's position to other AIS-equipped vessels, enhancing safety and visibility on the water.
By broadcasting your position, other sailors can easily identify and track your boat, improving situational awareness day and night. This is particularly valuable in busy ports and waterways where collision risks may be higher. The integrated AIS receiver continuously monitors the positions of nearby AIS-equipped boats, providing valuable information to help you avoid potential collisions.
The radio's integrated screen can show the AIS information, or it can be superimposed on a compatible multifunction display, map, or radar. This feature provides a complete perspective of nearby vessels, assisting with navigation and decision-making processes.
The RS40-B offers NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 connectivity, allowing seamless integration with other navigation systems and devices on your boat. This ensures efficient sharing of data and enhances overall system functionality.
The detachable fist microphone provides flexibility in mounting options, allowing you to attach it to the front or back of the radio. Optional extension cables enable separate installation of the microphone and radio, offering customization based on your boat's layout and your preference.
It's important to note that to enable transmission, a valid MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) issued by the competent authorities is required. This ensures proper identification and compliance with regulations.
