B&G V60-B VHF Marine Radio w/DSC & AIS (Receive & Transmit) Product Description
Why Choose the B&G V60-B for Your Vessel?
Navigating busy waterways demands reliability and visibility, and the B&G V60-B delivers both with its groundbreaking integration of a full Class B AIS transceiver right into a compact VHF radio. Unlike basic marine radios that only receive AIS signals, this unit transmits your position too, ensuring you're visible to commercial ships and fellow boaters alike. Imagine threading through a foggy harbor or racing in a crowded regatta—sudden awareness of nearby traffic can make all the difference.
Sailors and powerboaters praise its seamless tie-in with B&G chartplotters, overlaying AIS data directly on your screens for clutter-free situational awareness. The intuitive interface shines even in rough conditions, with a crisp monochrome display that's easy on the eyes during long watches.
Standout Safety and Navigation Tools
Integrated Class B AIS: See and Be Seen
The heart of the V60-B is its Class B AIS system, compliant for international, USA, and Canadian waters. It receives and broadcasts your vessel's position, speed, and course using built-in GPS. Pair it with your multifunction display, and AIS targets appear as dynamic icons, complete with vectors predicting collision risks. This isn't just tech—it's peace of mind for offshore passages or coastal hops.
Advanced DSC for Distress and Routine Calls
Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) automates safety calls, linking directly to your GPS for precise position reports. Enter contacts via MMSI, and routine hails or emergencies transmit instantly. The 25-watt power output punches through interference, while the 1-watt mode suits quieter channels.
Track Buddy: Stay Connected with Your Crew
Enter the MMSI of up to five buddies into your contact list, and the V60-B polls their positions automatically. View them on your chartplotter—perfect for coordinating with chase boats during races or keeping tabs on family outings. It's like having a digital tether without the wires.
Man Overboard (MOB) and Nav Mode
In a crisis, press and hold the NAV/MOB button to mark your position and enter recovery mode. It calculates bearing and distance back to the waypoint, broadcasting it across your NMEA 2000 network. Switch to Nav Mode for real-time speed, course over ground, and heading displays—turning your VHF into an essential backup instrument.
Flexible Design and Expansive Connectivity
The low-profile chassis matches sleek B&G multifunction displays, with front or flush mounting options for any helm layout. The detachable fist mic routes front or rear, and extension cables let you tuck the radio out of sight while keeping controls handy—no more dangling cords.
Expand with up to two optional H60 wireless handsets, charged inductively for cable-free docking anywhere on board. Use them as remotes or an intercom system. A 30-watt hailer/foghorn adds authority, and weather channels with alerts keep you informed.
NMEA 0183 and 2000 compatibility means plug-and-play with autopilots, radars, and instruments. Internal or external GPS antenna choices adapt to your setup, ensuring rock-solid positioning even under fiberglass.
- Monochrome 256x160 pixel display for clear readability
- Favorite channels for quick access
- Robust build for marine environments
Real-World Performance on the Water
From weekend cruisers to competitive sailors, users report the V60-B's edge in high-traffic zones like the Solent or Chesapeake Bay. One offshore racer noted how AIS transmissions alerted a freighter in time during a night start, avoiding a close call. Its compact footprint fits tight consoles, and the wireless handsets free crew to monitor from the cockpit.
Installation is straightforward—templates ensure perfect cuts—and the two-year warranty underscores B&G's confidence in its durability against salt spray and vibrations.

V60-B VHF Marine Radio with DSC & AIS (Receive & Transmit)
See and Be Seen with Integrated AIS
The V60-B includes a Class B AIS transmitter and receiver, which not only receives AIS targets but also transmits your yacht’s position to nearby AIS-equipped vessels. This helps other mariners to spot your boat through any conditions, day or night. A built-in AIS receiver monitors the position of other AIS-equipped vessels, helping you to proactively avoid collisions in crowded harbours and waterways. AIS information can be viewed on the radio’s built-in screen, or overlaid on your chart or radar screen through a compatible chartplotter.
Removable Fist Mic
The V60-B’s removable fist mic can be connected to the front or rear of the radio, and optional extension cables allow the mic and radio to be mounted separately. This offers a simple and cost-effective solution for any mounting location, with no cable clutter. For instance, the V60-B can be mounted overhead, with no hanging cables, while the mic is connected to an extension socket on the dash below.
Expandable with Wireless Handsets
Add an optional H60 wireless handset to take your radio anywhere on board. Each handset duplicates your radio’s display and controls, enabling remote access to all key functions. Up to two handsets can be connected to a single V60-B, and with multiple handsets connected your radio doubles as an on-board intercom.
Man Overboard (MOB) function
Hold down the NAV/MOB button to drop a waypoint on your current location and the V60-B will enter MOB mode to show you how far away you are and where you need to steer to get back to the position of the MOB event. The MOB waypoint is also transmitted over NMEA 2000 to the rest of your network.
