Does the V20S have a built-in GPS?
Yes. The V20S has an internal 72-channel GPS receiver, so your position is available for DSC distress calls. It also has an SMA connector for an optional external GPS antenna.
Do I need an MMSI to use the DSC functions?
Yes. A valid user MMSI must be obtained from your national authority and entered into the V20S before the DSC functions will operate. The MMSI can usually only be entered once, so enter it carefully.
Does the V20S receive AIS?
No. The V20S is a DSC VHF radio with built-in GPS but does not include an AIS receiver. If you need integrated AIS, the V60 (AIS receive) or V60-B (AIS transceiver) are the closest alternatives in the range.
Can the V20S connect to my chartplotter?
Yes. The V20S has both NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 ports, so it can take GPS position from the network and share DSC data with compatible devices on board.
