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!

AIS 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

The new generation of Class B AIS devices! The AIS SOTDMA (Self Organizing TDMA) are a safe alternative to conventional Class B transponders. The devices have a transmission power of 5 watts and transmit AIS data at higher intervals compared to conventional Class B devices. The SOTDMA process means that these devices can no longer be blocked by Class A devices. The dual channel AIS receiver allows monitoring of all AIS channels including Class-A, Class-B, AtoN and SART. The B600S features an integrated antenna splitter. Supplied with external GPS patch antenna (not suitable for outdoor use).

Interfaces: NMEA2000 (Micro-C), NMEA0183, USB
With integrated GPS module, delivery includes external GPS patch antenna with 3m connection cable
Integrated splitter
Operating voltage: 12/24 V
Dim .: 178 x 60 x 133 mm

Note: The AIS transmitter/receiver can be programmed by yourself. However, if you would like us to programme the device, we charge our programming fee for this service.
The application for MMSI numbers can be found under Service / Downloads.

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.
