Hello SVB team, after the first device was defective (no AIS broadcast) we immediately received a replacement device. This works flawlessly and is consistently recommended. Best service. Greetings Martin and Sandra Ebel.

Defective antenna
Transponder installed in my dive boat in 2022, the GPS antenna worked for a month then stopped working. Antenna replaced, which stopped working after a few months...
A third antenna was delivered as a replacement (product still under warranty), this time it was no longer the original Icom antenna. It worked well for a year, and for the past two weeks it's been showing serious signs of weakness. It takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour before the GPS signal is found, the signal is lost very often...
The problem is that connecting a GPS antenna from another brand is not possible. The connector is specific to Icom devices, so it's not possible to choose a different antenna unless you redo the connection yourself.

The GPS antenna only lasts two years
The whole thing seems of good quality at first glance, but it worked well for two years then it started to lose the GPS from time to time, today it no longer works at all! after diagnosis It turns out that the GPS antenna is dead I am very disappointed given the price of the product I would like to know if the warranty can still apply?

In terms of use, it is simple and effective when it works. It is a good navigation aid. The alarm can be adjusted as desired. The alarm ringing is loud enough to be heard outside despite the wind. There are no complaints about its use when it is working.

Totally inaccurate unusable anchor alarm!
Totally inaccurate unusable anchor alarm! Slow device, not very ergonomic and of very 'light' construction. This brand benefits from its image but I discover that there is much better elsewhere!
