Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add more handsets to this system?

Yes, the V100-B supports up to 8 total handsets (4 wired H100 and 4 wireless H60 handsets). Each wireless handset features inductive charging and duplicates all radio functions on an easy-to-read display.

Does this system require separate VHF and AIS antennas?

The system includes connections for both VHF and AIS antennas (both SO-239). While you can use an antenna splitter, separate antennas provide optimal performance for both functions.

How does the Track Buddy feature work?

Track Buddy allows you to monitor up to 5 specific vessels by entering their MMSI numbers. You can track their positions and receive alerts about their movement, perfect for staying connected with your fleet or buddy boats.

Is the GPS500 antenna required for operation?

The GPS500 antenna is included and provides dedicated GPS positioning for AIS transmission. While the system has built-in GPS capability, the external antenna ensures optimal satellite reception and AIS accuracy.

Can I integrate this with my existing chartplotter?

Yes, the V100-B connects via NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183, allowing AIS targets to display as overlays on compatible chartplotters and radar screens. This integration provides a comprehensive view of nearby vessel traffic.
