B&G V50 VHF Radio
with integrated AIS receiver and DSC controller
Communicate clearly with the reliable B&G V50 VHF radio. The internal AIS receiver can output the incoming AIS data to a wide variety of devices using the integrated NMEA0183 or NMEA2000 interface.
Dual-channel VHF
The V50 VHF radio for dual-channel communication with AIS reception and VHF via a single antenna. The unique "TrackYourBuddy" function shows the position of up to three buddies. Use AIS with B&G Zeus chartplotters for a fully integrated navigation and security system.
Whether it's a handheld system for using a thumb to "push to talk" or a built-in VHF system with dedicated channel buttons, the menus are always easy-to-use and intuitive. All B&G VHF maritime radio systems have an emergency switch for situations at sea when distress calls need to be made.

Technical question
Rokas A.
| Aug 7, 2020
My brand new unit has arrived, but when I press PTT button, no signal is transmitted, and no TX icon appears on the screen. I click 'scan' button, and then hit PTT button, which should stop the channel scan, but it doesnt. Is my PTT button dead on arrival?

I guess it is DOA, mine worked fine at first.
General question

Ordered and just received one of these from SVB for use in the UK. On the box it has an "intended country of use" that is marked as Germany. Anyone know if this matters? Thanks, Nick.

Hi Nicolas, I think it doesn't matters until intended country is one of the EU. I bought the same VHF from SVB and it works perfectly in Slovenian & Italian sea.

Thanks Luka. I've discovered it does. Its not programmed for UK marina channels etc. I'm worried this statement above was meant to cover that: "If additional channels (e.g. Dutch channels 30, 31 and 37) are to be activated, we calculate our programming fee " Far from clear and now I have a partially functioning unit I can't use for half of its purpose. Can anyone from SVB help please? Thanks Nick.

Can I connect this to my Raymarine eS Series Chart Plotter? It would show the AIS targets on my Raymarine screen?

Hi Hannu, Yes that's correct. Ideally you connect both over the NMEA2000 Network
Technical question
Luka K.
| Jan 16, 2020
Does the VHF unit B&G V50 (that is on offer right now ) come with updated software (ie latest software upgrade, V.2.91 from 6/2017 or at least V2.87)? Thank you.
Answer from SVB customer service
Arne C.
| Jan 16, 2020
Hi Luka, the latest Firmware 2.91 should already on all devices be installed. Should this not be the case, unexpectedly, because from an older charge from the manufacturer, the device can be updated by the user himself using a B&G or Simrad plotter. The how to is described accordingly on the manufacturer's website
