Benefits of AIS (Automatic Identification System)
An AIS transponder on your boat automatically receives information broadcast by other AIS-equipped vessel’s
and base stations, all while your own vessel’s static and dynamic information is being transmitted. Using with
an AIS transponder, you can find AIS mounted small boats and buoys that are difficult to be detected with a
marine radar. The MA-510TR can receive both Class A and B AIS signals and increases your safety at sea.
