010-00757-11
The Garmin VHF 300i AIS is a black-box marine VHF system with a built-in AIS receiver, supplied with a GHS 10 handset and active speaker. It transmits at 25 W with Class D DSC, supports up to three handsets, and is NMEA 2000 certified.
Description
The Garmin VHF 300i AIS is a black-box marine VHF system with an integrated AIS receiver, displaying nearby AIS-equipped vessels on a connected Garmin chartplotter to improve situational awareness and collision avoidance. The transceiver mounts out of sight below deck and is controlled from the supplied GHS 10 handset, which connects through a bulkhead pass-through plate alongside the included active speaker. Up to three handsets can be added so crew can talk between stations using the built-in intercom.
Selectable 1 W and 25 W transmit power and standard Class D digital selective calling deliver dependable communication and one-touch distress alerts once your MMSI is programmed, while a 30 W hailer handles dockside and onboard announcements. The system is NMEA 2000 certified and also supports NMEA 0183, sharing AIS, GPS and DSC information with compatible chartplotters. The transceiver, handset and speaker are IPX7 water-rated for the marine environment.

Does the VHF 300i AIS transmit AIS or only receive?
The VHF 300i AIS includes a built-in AIS receiver. It displays nearby AIS-equipped vessels on a connected chartplotter but does not transmit your own AIS position. A dedicated AIS transceiver such as the AIS 800 is required to transmit your position.
What is included with the VHF 300i AIS system?
It is supplied as a black-box transceiver with a GHS 10 wired handset and microphone plus an active speaker, along with the bulkhead pass-through plate, handset hanger and mounting hardware.
How many handsets does it support?
You can connect up to three GHS 10/10i handsets to the transceiver, with intercom communication between stations.
How does it connect to a chartplotter?
The system is NMEA 2000 certified and also supports NMEA 0183, allowing it to share AIS, GPS and DSC information with compatible Garmin chartplotters and multifunction displays.
What transmit power and hailer output does it provide?
The radio transmits at a selectable 1 W or 25 W and provides a 30 W maximum hailer output for dockside and onboard announcements.
