AIT250 Class B AIS Transponder
Although there are several AIS units currently being sold in the leisure market they are all just receivers - it is normally commercial vessels that are fitted with transmitters. Thus while you can see them, they can’t see you! The AIT250 is a full Class B AIS transponder which sends and receives AIS data so your position, course, speed, heading and identity are transmitted to other AIS users as well as receiving other Class A and Class B data transmissions for viewing on a compatible plotter or PC charting system, greatly improving your safety at sea. This compact unit measures just 190x175x91mm and can be interfaced with a PC or a compatible chartplotter, radar or combi display.
