B&G V60-B VHF Radio with AIS Transceiver

B&G 000-14819-001 VHF marine radio featuring a built-in GPS and a full Class B AIS transmitter and receiver, enabling the user to see and be seen by nearby AIS-equipped vessels. AIS information can be viewed on the radio's built-in screen, or overlaid on a chart or radar screen through a compatible chartplotter.

The V60-B radio's low-profile design allows for flexible mounting options and supports up to two optional wireless handsets.

The removable mic can be connected to the front or rear of the radio and optional extension cables allow the mic and radio to be mounted separately, helping avoid cluttered cables.

An optional H60 wireless handset allows the radio to used anywhere on board. Each handset duplicates the radio's display and controls, enabling remote access to all key functions. Up to two handsets can be connected to a single V60-B and with multiple handsets connected, the radio doubles as an on-board intercom.

The NAV button on the radio can be selected to turn it into a navigational instrument displaying Speed and Course.
Holding the NAV/MOB button down will drop a waypoint on the users' current location and the V60-B will enter 'Man OverBoard' mode to show the user how far away they are and where they need to steer to get back to the position of the MOB event. The MOB waypoint is also transmitted over NMEA 2000 to the rest of the network.

The 'Track Buddy' feature will automatically request the position of another VHF radio at set intervals. The MMSI of the VHF is simply entered into the contact list and tracking can start. Up to five vessels can be tracked using this mode.
