QK-A024/26 Manual 

Wireless AIS + GPS Receiver 

 (GPS: A026 only) 

With NMEA Multi WiFi 

 

 

 

Features

 

 

  Two  independent  receivers  monitoring  AIS  channels  (161.975MHz  &  162.025MHz)  and  decoding 

both channels simultaneously. 

  Sensitivity up to -105 dBm@30% PER 

  Up to 35 nautical miles receiving range 

  USB 2.0 powered (QK-A024: <[email protected]) (QK-A026: <[email protected]

  NMEA 0183 message output through WiFi, USB and NMEA 0183 

  Built-in GPS to provide positional data (No GPS connection in A024) 

  Combines  NMEA  input  (4800bps  default,  configurable)  and  AIS  messages  (+GPS  in  A026),  and 

outputs as a seamless stream of data 

  BNC connector for 50 Ohm VHF antenna 

  Powered SMA connector for 50 Ohm GPS antenna 

  Ad-hoc and Station operating modes 

  The internal WiFi access point connects up to 4 devices simultaneously 

  Plug & Play connectivity with chart plotters and PCs 

  Compatible  with  Windows,  Mac,  Linux,  Android  and  iOS  (Initial  configuration  must  be  completed 

using Windows software.) 

  This  device  connects  to  NMEA  0183  and  is  compatible  with  RS422  output  devices.  NMEA  0183-

RS232 devices can connect to our device by using the Protocol Bridge (QK-AS03) 

  This device  does not come pre-loaded  with map data. We  advise using openCPN or other similar 

software for map data. Some Apps may charge for map use
