Raymarine AIS700 Class B AIS Transceiver with Antenna Splitter

High performance class B AIS Transceiver

The Raymarine AIS700 Class B AIS Transceiver with Antenna Splitter is a Class B Automatic Identification System (AIS) transceiver designed for use with Raymarine multifunction navigation display systems. As a Class B AIS transceiver, the AIS700 not only receives broadcasts from other vessels, it also transmits your own boat's information too helping you to be seen on other vessels' systems.

Raymarine AIS700 Class B AIS Transceiver with Antenna Splitter Features:

• Full transmit and receive AIS for enhanced situational awareness and safety
  
• Latest SO-TDMA networking for longer range and faster performance
  
• Built-in antenna splitter simplifies installation with existing VHF radio antenna*
  
• NMEA2000, NMEA0183, PC (setup & diagnostics) and SeaTalkng compatible.
  
• Software or hardware switchable Silent Mode for enhanced security when needed
