VHF MARINE KIT RS40-B+GPS-500
See and Be Seen with Integrated AIS
The RS40-B features a Class B AIS transceiver, which not only receives AIS targets but also transmits your boat’s position to nearby vessels equipped with AIS. This helps other boaters see your boat under all conditions, day and night. A built-in AIS receiver monitors the position of other vessels equipped with AIS, allowing you to proactively avoid collisions in busy harbors and waterways. AIS information can be viewed on the radio’s built-in screen or displayed on your chart or radar screen via a compatible multifunction display.
Detachable Handheld Microphone
The RS40-B’s detachable handheld microphone can be connected to the front or back of the radio, and optional extension cables allow the microphone and radio to be mounted separately. This offers a simple and cost-effective solution for any mounting location, without cable clutter. For example, the RS40-B can be mounted overhead, without dangling cables, while the microphone is connected to an extension base on the dashboard below.
Expandable with Wireless Handsets
Add an optional HS40 wireless handset to take your radio with you anywhere on board. Each handset duplicates your radio’s display and controls, giving you remote access to all key functions. Up to two handsets can be connected to a single RS40-B, and with multiple handsets connected, your radio functions as a convenient onboard intercom.
