LBD 179 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Anyone have experience with this AIS/VHF set up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarpeDiem 527 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Not me. But better to get two separate units imho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funlovincriminal 218 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I installed one on the 930 for 3 kings, northern triangle and RNI races. It's the B&G version. Running it through a zero loss splitter and masthead vhf serial. Radio is powerful and clear, and the AIS is really easy to set up. All round a nice bit of kit and on a small boat it makes sense to have it in one unit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent thanks, that is how I will set it up as well... eventually I will look to link it to my chart plotter as well. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,293 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Normally Yachts use the B&G version - V60B. I've put lots of these on customers boats and had no issues.... If the display is too small for AIS and you have a MFD or Triton2 displays, they can do the AIS instead... via NMEA2000... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
