Garmin AIS 600 Black Box AIS Transceiver with Built In VHF Antenna Splitter
Description
The Garmin AIS 600 is a black-box Automatic Identification System (AIS) Class B transceiver that both transmits your vessel position and receives nearby AIS targets, displaying them on a connected Garmin chartplotter. Transmitting your own AIS position makes your boat visible to other AIS-equipped vessels, while receiving Class A and Class B targets improves situational awareness and helps avoid collisions. The unit must be programmed with a valid MMSI by an authorised installer before it will transmit.
The included GA 38 GPS antenna supplies the position data required for transmission, and a built-in antenna splitter lets the AIS 600 share a single VHF antenna with an onboard VHF radio. It connects to a chartplotter over a NMEA 2000 network or NMEA 0183, mounts on a bulkhead below deck, and carries an IPX7 water rating for the marine environment.
