AIS Class B Finally Approved
October 3rd, 2008
AIS Class B Transponders, reportedly, have been approved by the FCC. As soon as our distributor makes them available, you can purchase the ACR Nauticast B AIS Transponder here. Please be aware that your MMSID will need to be provided so that the unit may be pre-programmed to identify your vessel before the AIS Transponder is shipped.
ACR’s Nauticast B AIS not only will transmit vessel information to surrounding traffic, but also allows the user to participate with neighboring vessels to avoid collisions.
The Nauticast AIS Transponder is also a fully functional receiver that is fully compatible with Coastal Explorer and Visual Navigation Suite MAX Pro.

My boat is equipped with Raymarine C-120 system. Has the Nauticast B-AIS Transponder been tested with Raymarine for compatibility and ease of connection?

Ted, The Nauticast transponder will work just fine with all raymarine c-series plotters as it uses standard NMEA 0183 AIS sentences.
