Digital Yacht AIS100 AIS Receiver

The Digital Yacht AIS100 Receiver (Model: ZDIGAIS100) is a great choice for boat owners. It's an entry - level AIS receiver at a low cost. With high - performance dual - channel technology, it can work well with existing plotter and radar systems. It has a high - speed NMEA output (38,400 baud). You can use a VHF antenna, a dedicated AIS antenna (available as an option), or a splitter. It's an IP54 black box that's easy to install and comes with a BNC antenna connector. This cost - effective AIS receiver offers the same dual - channel performance as the AIS100Pro without the USB interface and multiplexer. It outperforms single - channel receivers. It's compatible with popular AIS chart plotters like Garmin, Raymarine, Navico, Standard Horizon, and Furuno. A mast - top antenna can provide an AIS reception range of 20 - 20 m.

Using the Digital Yacht AIS100 Receiver is easy. First, you need to connect it to an antenna. You can choose a VHF antenna, a dedicated AIS antenna (if you bought it as an accessory), or use a splitter. Then, connect it to your existing plotter or radar system. Make sure to check the NMEA output settings for proper connection. When installing, keep in mind that it's an IP54 black box, so it's somewhat protected from dust and water, but avoid exposing it to extreme conditions. For maintenance, clean the BNC antenna connector regularly to ensure good signal reception. If you face any issues, check the connections and make sure your antenna is in good condition.
