AIS™ 600 VHF Option
As an VHF option (at the time of publication only with
the VHF 300) this transceiver device aids in collision
avoidance by helping you track and contact anyone in the
area with an MMSI number. Whether you are in touch
with mariners in the area or tracking other vessels on a
similar course, you will be able to share information be-
tween boats for improved safety and greater con
fi dence
while on the waterways.
The Clear Track™ technology assures there is no inter-
ruption of the AIS traf
fi c position while the marine ra-
dio is in use. This is integrated through the chart plotter
using the NMEA “backbone” communication system
and the “call and “radio” function.
The black box transceiver is located in the master state-
room electronics locker. A compatible GPS antenna for
this device is located amidships under the “whisper wall”
ceiling material.
DC volt power sources at the electronics main breaker
as part of the battery management panel in the engine
room.
VHF 300 Radio Option
The VHF 300 features a
2-way 30 watt hailer sys-
tem for vessel commu-
nication to other boats
or deckhands and uses
the vessel NMEA 2000
communication sys-
tem. This unit features
a voice mail function
where it permits you to
pre-record a 15 second
message and deliver the
message to any DSC radio. Also, you can replay the last
90 seconds of any incoming voice transmissions with the
touch of a button.
