Onwa KS-200A AIS 'Black Box' Class B+ transceiver

AVES Maine 2025 Summer Sale - this product has a 24 month warranty

ClassB+AIS transmit and receive,. 5 Watts SOTDMA

This product communicates with other equipment via NMEA1083.

Perfect for use as a stand alone transmitter/receiver to send your AIS details out to all AIS equipped vessels within range and see other AIS equipped vessels.  Can easily be linked by the data cable provided to an existing plotter so that all AIS vessels in range can be overlaid onto the chart page of your plotter. If you have an Onwa non-AIS plotter, this already has an AIS 'radar' page built in together with CPA* and TCPA* alarms that can be user set - this is a very valuable safety feature.

*CPA = closest point of approach        *TCPA = time to closes point of approach

Programming the KS-200A with a vessel's AIS details:

AIS details (MMSI etc) must be set into both the KS-200A and KS-200A/SART.

Setting up the KS-200A with your vessels' AIS details (MMSI, name etc) requires some technical knowledge and additional hardware in the form of an NMEA/Serial to USB interface is required. We do this for you at no cost before dispatch. Should you ever change your boat - no problem, just return the 200A and we will amend your boat details to match the new boat. No cost apart from return postage.
