AIS transceivers
AIS transceivers are used by Vessel Traffic Systems to monitor and
control the transmissions of AIS transceivers.
Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceivers
AtoN transceivers are mounted on buoys or other hazards to
shipping in order to transmit details of their location to the
surrounding vessels.
The V90S VHF radio includes an AIS receiver-only function.
AIS Static and dynamic information
Defined transmit rates for Class A vessels shown below are provided
for reference purposes only. The frequency of messages received
vary due to a number of factors including but not limited to such
factors as antenna height, gain and signal interference.
Static information is either broadcast every 6 minutes, when data
has been amended, or upon request.
Dynamic information is broadcast depending on speed and course
alteration based on the following tables:
