SR161 AIS Receiver

SR161 AIS receiver is a high performance AIS receive only unit that enables the reception of AIS information from suitably equipped vessels at a fraction of the cost of a conventional AIS transponder but at the same receiving performance of type approved class A ais transpoders. The SR161 AIS receiver installation is quick and simple, requiring only the connection to a VHF aerial and computer (PC). Combined with marine navigation software, you can display any AIS equipped vessel within VHF range which is typically up to 40 nautical miles. The SR161 AIS receiver is compatible with any chart/ECDIS system capable of accepting standard NMEA 183 AIS sentences.
