The Raymarine AIS700 Class B AIS Transceiver with Antenna Splitter (E70476) is a high-performance AIS transceiver that enhances your vessel’s situational awareness and collision avoidance capabilities. Designed for recreational and commercial craft, it receives and transmits AIS data to and from nearby vessels, aiding navigation and safety on busy waterways. Its built-in antenna splitter lets you share your existing VHF antenna with your VHF radio — simplifying installation and reducing equipment clutter. With advanced SO-TDMA technology for stronger signal network performance and integrated GPS/GNSS, this unit is ideal for integration with your chartplotter, multifunction display, and onboard electronics.
