V60-B Marine VHF Radio with DSC and AIS-RXTX

The V60-B features a Class B AIS transmitter and receiver, providing comprehensive vessel tracking for safer navigation. This system not only receives AIS targets from nearby boats but also actively transmits your yacht’s position to other AIS-equipped vessels. By broadcasting your location in real-time, the V60-B ensures your boat is visible to other mariners, improving safety in all conditions, whether navigating during the day or at night.

Equipped with a built-in AIS receiver, the V60-B continuously monitors the positions of surrounding AIS-equipped vessels, giving you crucial situational awareness to help avoid collisions in busy harbors and waterways. AIS data can be easily viewed directly on the radio’s clear, built-in screen or seamlessly overlaid on compatible chartplotters and radar displays for enhanced navigation. This integration enables proactive route planning and collision avoidance, making the V60-B a vital tool for both recreational sailors and professional captains seeking safe and efficient vessel operation.

Features:

• The V60-B's removable fist mic can be connected to the front or rear of the radio, and optional extension cables allow the mic and radio to be mounted separately. This offers a cost-effective and straightforward solution for any mounting location, with no cable clutter. 
• Add an optional H60 wireless handset to take your radio anywhere on board. Each handset duplicates your radio display and controls, enabling remote access to all key functions. 
• Hold down the NAV/MOB button to drop a waypoint on your current location, and the V60-B will enter MOB mode to show you how far away you are and where you need to steer to get back to the position of the MOB event. The MOB waypoint is also transmitted over NMEA 2000 to the rest of your network. 
• The Track Buddy feature will automatically request the position of another VHF radio at set intervals.
