Class B transponders are designed as a more affordable AIS transmitter for the recreational boater.

Features

• Includes all the features and benefits of the commercial "Class A" transmitters but not all static ship's data need be sent (eg: ship's dimensions, destination, ETA).
• The CSB200 enables boats sailing in busy shipping lanes to automatically transmit their current position, course and speed to other vessels and shore stations within VHF range.
   
• Installation:
  Installation is quick and simple. The CSB200 requires a 12vDC power source, and connection to an external VHF aerial and GPS antenna. The vessels initial static information is programmed via a PC by the user. The CSB200 also contains a dual channel AIS receiver thus once connected to SOB other vessels fitted with AIS can be received and displayed. 
  
  Vessels will require an MMSI number issued by the IMO.
