Description
AIS Transponder Class B KS-200A
PRODUCT CODE: ON-KS-200A
The Onwa AIS Transponder Class B KS-200A is a very low cost transceiver, meeting the demands of the small commercial boat, fishing boat and leisure markets. It is designed in accordance with the Class B standard that allows vessels that are not required to fit Class A units to fit an AIS Class B Transponder. When connected to an external VHF antenna and a GPS antenna, the KS-200A will transmit its own vessel position and data and receive information from other AIS vessels, shore stations and navigational aids within VHF range.
APPLICATIONS
- Small commercial boat, fishing boat and leisure markets.
- Meets the Class ‘B’ international standard that allows vessels that are not required to fit Class ‘A’ transponders to voluntarily (or otherwise) fit an AIS transponder.
