B&G V60-B VHF Marine Radio w/DSC & AIS (Receive & Transmit) Product Description

B&G V60-B VHF Marine Radio with Integrated Class B AIS Transceiver - Ultimate Marine Communication Safety

Revolutionary VHF Radio with Full AIS Integration for Complete Marine Awareness

The B&G V60-B VHF Marine Radio represents the pinnacle of marine communication technology, combining professional-grade VHF capabilities with a fully integrated Class B AIS transceiver. This USCG-approved Class D DSC radio not only lets you communicate with other vessels and marine authorities but also ensures you can see and be seen by all AIS-equipped vessels in your vicinity, dramatically enhancing your safety on the water.

Advanced AIS Technology - See and Be Seen

Unlike standard VHF radios that only handle voice communications, the V60-B features a complete Class B AIS transceiver that both receives and transmits vessel position data. Your boat's position, course, and speed are automatically broadcast to nearby AIS-equipped vessels, making you visible to commercial traffic, coast guard vessels, and other recreational boats regardless of weather conditions or visibility. The built-in AIS receiver simultaneously monitors other vessels, providing collision avoidance data that can be displayed on the radio's screen or overlaid on compatible B&G chartplotters and radar displays.

Built-in GPS with Flexible Antenna Options

The V60-B incorporates a high-sensitivity GPS receiver that provides accurate position data for DSC emergency calls and AIS transmissions. Mariners can choose between the internal GPS antenna for clean installations or connect an external GPS antenna for optimal reception in challenging mounting locations. This built-in GPS capability eliminates the need for separate positioning equipment while ensuring compliance with maritime safety regulations.

Professional Communication Features

  • 25W/1W Selectable Power Output: Full 25-watt transmission power for maximum range, with 1-watt low power option for close-range communications and battery conservation
  • Complete Channel Coverage: All International, Canadian, USA, and Weather (WX) channels with automatic weather alert functionality
  • Class D DSC Compliance: Full Digital Selective Calling capability for emergency distress signals and position reporting
  • 30W Hailer Capability: Optional loudhailer function for docking assistance and crew communication
  • Favorite Channel Mode: Quick access to frequently used channels for efficient operation

Innovative Track Buddy Vessel Monitoring System

The exclusive Track Buddy feature transforms your V60-B into a comprehensive fleet monitoring system. Simply enter the MMSI numbers of up to five vessels (friends, family, or fleet boats) into your contact list, and the radio automatically requests and displays their positions at preset intervals. This revolutionary feature is perfect for yacht clubs, sailing groups, fishing fleets, or families with multiple boats, providing real-time awareness of your companions' locations on any compatible B&G chartplotter display.

Wireless Handset Expansion and Intercom Functionality

Extend your communication capabilities throughout your vessel with optional H60 wireless handsets featuring inductive charging technology. Up to two handsets can be connected to a single V60-B, with each handset providing full access to all radio functions and displays. When multiple handsets are active, the system doubles as an onboard intercom, enabling crew communication throughout the boat without tying up VHF channels.

Navigation Mode and Man Overboard (MOB) Safety

Press the NAV button to transform your V60-B into a navigation instrument displaying real-time speed and course information. The critical Man Overboard function allows you to instantly mark a MOB position by holding the NAV/MOB button, automatically switching the display to show distance and bearing back to the emergency location. The MOB waypoint is simultaneously transmitted over NMEA 2000 to your entire navigation network, ensuring all displays show the critical return information.

Professional Installation and Integration

Flexible Mounting Options

  • Front or Rear Mounting: Low-profile design matches B&G MFD styling with mounting flexibility
  • Removable Fist Microphone: Connects to front or rear of unit with optional extension cables for custom installations
  • Clean Cable Management: Mount radio overhead with microphone connected via extension to dash-mounted socket

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.
