Product details

The new generation of Class B AIS devices! The AIS SOTDMA (Self Organizing TDMA) is a safe alternative to conventional Class-B transponders. The devices have a transmission power of 5 watts and send the AIS data at higher intervals, compared to conventional Class-B devices. Due to SOTDMA technology, these devices are no longer suppressed by Class-A devices. The dual-channel AIS receiver allows users to monitor all AIS channels, including: Class-A, Class-B, AtoN and SART.
  • Interfaces: NMEA2000, NMEA0183, USB
  • With integrated GPS module
  • Includes external GPS patch antenna with 3 m connection cable
  • Operating voltage: 12/24 V
  • Dimensions: 178 x 60 x 133 mm

Already purchased and installed on the previous boat. Great, works well used on MacBook and OpenCPN. I'm waiting for the MMSI to put it in full service

AIS Transponder B600W
My device transmits via the (emergency) antenna on the stern basket and is also installed in the rear cabin. From there I don't need to lay any cables to the helm, the data comes via WiFi directly to the chart plotter and to the crew's cell phones. The multiplexer with one input and one output each for NMEA 0183 and 2000 comes in handy when you need one.
The device can send message 27 to satellites, which could be interesting for Atlantic sailors.
To configure it you need WIN10 or higher and the included USB cable. Unfortunately you cannot configure the transponder via an Android app and WiFi. More detailed configuration instructions, AISCfgTool_Manual.pdf, can be requested from the manufacturer servicealltekmarine.com. Be careful, www.alltek.sg is not the AMEC branch in Singapore but a malware-infected fake.

Nice product
It worked flawlessly the first time I connected. Immediately the AIS targets appeared on the plotter screen via NMEA2000. The on-board VHF is also connected via NMEA183, to transmit GPS coordinates. All perfect!

excellent device
Easy installation and commissioning, detailed and easy to understand explanations, works flawlessly, boot also visible in relevant tracking apps (if Class B is not switched off due to network overload).

AIS transponder at 70 degrees north
The AMEC B 600 is well made and already has SOTDMA technology. I programmed the device, this was very easy with the enclosed CD. Installation was problem-free and the transponder has been running smoothly ever since. We use the AMEC B 600 up here in Northern Norway with a second VHF antenna on the pushpit. Both the GPS reception and transmission / reception are impeccable.

Hi, do you have experience connecting the B600W AIS to a Raymarine plotter. What is the best way to connect the two and do I need any additional cables to connect the AIS to SeaTalk? Kind regards, B
