B&G V100-B VHF/AIS System with GPS500 Product Description
Enhance your on-water safety and communication with the B&G V100-B, a versatile modular VHF radio system that integrates seamlessly Class B AIS capabilities alongside robust marine radio functions. Designed for sailors and powerboaters who demand reliability in challenging conditions, this blackbox setup delivers real-time vessel tracking, collision avoidance, and flexible onboard intercom options, ensuring you're always connected no matter where you stand on deck.
Advanced AIS Integration for Smarter Navigation
The heart of the V100-B is its built-in Class B AIS transceiver, which broadcasts your vessel's position while receiving data from nearby AIS-equipped boats. This dual functionality shines in busy harbors or foggy straits, where visibility is low—monitor up to hundreds of targets with precise location, speed, and course info right on the handset display or overlaid on your chartplotter. Paired with the included GPS-500 external antenna, it ensures accurate positioning for SOTDMA transmission, meeting stringent Class B standards without compromising power efficiency.
Unlike basic VHF units, the V100-B's AIS doesn't just alert you to risks; it empowers proactive decisions. Visualize threats on compatible multifunction displays via NMEA 2000 or 0183, turning potential close calls into confident maneuvers.
Expandable Communication Tailored to Your Vessel
Start simple with the included wired H100 handset and SP100 speaker, then scale up to eight handsets—four wireless H60 models with inductive charging and four wired—for full-deck coverage. Transform the system into an onboard intercom for crew coordination during maneuvers or races. Wireless handsets mirror the blackbox controls on sunlight-readable 2-inch LCD screens, complete with alphanumeric keypads, favorite channels, and scan functions.
Add a loudhailer for bridge-to-deck hails or fog signals, and connect up to four external speakers with independent volume control. Handset backlighting syncs with your NMEA 2000 network, matching dashboard instruments for a cohesive night setup.
Standout Features for Everyday Reliability
- 60-Second Audio Rewind: Never miss a critical call—replay the last minute of transmissions instantly.
- Track Buddy: Follow up to five buddies by their MMSI numbers, ideal for regattas or group outings.
- Class D DSC: Global-standard digital selective calling with position polling, group calls, and 20-log storage for individuals plus 10 distress entries.
- Robust Connectivity: NMEA 0183/2000 support for heading, position, and AIS data sharing with plotters, radars, and instruments.
- Weather-Resilient Design: IPX5 waterproofing, wide temperature range (-20°C to +55°C), and compass-safe installation.
