The Simrad RS40-B is a Class D DSC-approved VHF marine radio with an integrated Class B AIS transceiver and GPS receiver. This comprehensive communications package includes the GPS-500 external GPS antenna for enhanced positioning accuracy and AIS performance.
Integrated AIS for Enhanced Safety:
The RS40-B features a built-in Class B AIS transceiver that both receives and transmits vessel position data. Monitor nearby AIS-equipped vessels on the radio's display or overlay AIS targets on compatible Simrad multifunction displays and radar screens. By transmitting your boat's position, you increase visibility to other mariners in all weather conditions, day or night, helping to prevent collisions in crowded waterways.
Flexible Installation Options:
The removable fist microphone connects to either the front or rear of the radio unit, and optional extension cables enable separate mounting of the mic and radio body. This eliminates cable clutter and supports versatile installation configurations, such as overhead radio mounting with a dash-mounted microphone.
Wireless Handset Expansion:
Expand your communications capability by adding up to two optional HS40 wireless handsets. Each handset replicates the radio's full display and controls, providing complete remote access to all functions. With multiple handsets connected, the system also functions as an onboard intercom.
