Simrad RS40-B with DSC, AIS Transmission, and GPS500 GPS Antenna
Complete bundle package with VHF, Class B AIS, and separate external GPS antenna.
This bundle combines the Simrad RS40-B VHF radio, integrated Class B SOTDMA AIS transponder, and the GPS500 external GPS antenna in one order. The RS40-B provides both marine radio and active AIS broadcasting, while the GPS500 ensures an external position antenna with optimal signal reception.
By supplying the GPS500 separately, the antenna can be mounted externally in the position with the best satellite reception, even if the marine radio itself is in an unfavorable position.
Why choose this RS40-B + GPS500 bundle?
- Class B SOTDMA AIS transmitter: higher transmission priority for active visibility.
- External GPS antenna: optimal position for satellite reception.
- Complete package: all necessary components in one order.
- Class D DSC marine radio: full distress call functionality.
- NMEA 2000 integration: AIS and GPS data directly into your network.
Who is this product made for?
This bundle is intended for boaters who want to combine maximum AIS visibility and optimal GPS reception in one installation. Suitable for motorboats, sailboats, and commercial vessels where the marine radio itself is in an unfavorable position for the integrated GPS, or where maximum GPS performance is desired.
What does it offer you?
- Best of both worlds: compact marine radio and external GPS positioning.
- Maximum AIS visibility: Class B SOTDMA for higher transmission priority.
- Optimal GPS reception: external antenna in the best position.
- Complete package: less research for installation.
- Future-proof: NMEA 2000 GPS shareable with other onboard systems.
