Simrad RS40 with DSC and AIS Reception

Class D DSC marine radio with integrated AIS receiver and GPS positioning.
The RS40 is a fixed-mount Class D DSC VHF marine radio from Simrad with an integrated AIS receiver and GPS. The device receives AIS signals from other vessels and transmits their position to a connected Simrad multifunction display, without transmitting AIS itself. This makes the RS40 an excellent combination of professional DSC marine radio and active environmental monitoring.

The device features a large graphical display, intuitive menu control, and NMEA 2000 connectivity for seamless integration.
