IMPORTANT NOTICE: Because each transponder can only be programmed once with your personal MMSI number, these units are NOT CANCELABLE or RETURNABLE after orders have been placed The ACR Nauticast-B Transponder is a plug and play (AIS) Automatic Information System solution that is now FCC approved! Unlike receive only AIS devices which do not transmit vessel information to surrounding traffic, the Nauticast-B system allows you to virtually participate in neighboring vessels maneuvering activities for collision avoidance. Announce your identity, position, speed and course over ground to oncoming traffic which allows for increased security that you will be seen in low visibility conditions. Avoid not being seen because of extreme weather conditions or busy vessel traffic environments. Generate a safety distress message to surrounding AIS vessels, basestations, and SAR teams. All in all, it is a horizon expanding experience; especially in combination with an electronic chart system. Data cable directly interfaces with your chart plotter or laptop allowing easy integration and viewing on your existing system. Compatible with the majority of chartplotters manufactured in the last several years. Compatible with Maptech and Nobeltec software. Click here for a compatibility advisory. Safety Relate Message/Stealth The remote SRM button saves the precise coordinates of the incident and immediately generates safety distress message to surrounding vessels. Or configure the SRM switch to allow you to operate in stealth mode only, receiving AIS data and reduce power consumption. Includes 12V AIS Transponder, External GPS Antenna, VHF Antenna, Power/Interface Cable, and 5 meters (each) cables for VHF and External GPS Antennas. When you are ready to place your order, you will need to complete the Class B Static Data Information Sheet (click here to open the "Information Sheet" form) which includes the above information. This must be sent to Defender Industries via email or faxed along with a copy of your MMSI registration before your order can be processed. Our fax number is 860-701-3424 or 800-654-1616.
