The  SR162G is a dual-channel receiver designed for both recreational and professional use. The SR162G has all the features of the SR162 but also includes an integrated GPS and an external GPS antenna.

The  dual-channel design makes the SR162G and SR162  the most appropriate Smart Radio devices for use in areas where Class B AIS transponders are in use since Class B transponders provide position updates less often than commercial Class A transponders.

For an easy-to-set-up PC-based system, use the SR162G, with the Sabrent USB to Serial Adapter

The SR162G can be used with computer-based navigation solutions using a standard RS232 serial port interface. It is not designed to be used with most chart plotters (such as Raymarine C,  E and G Series).  If you need an AIS solution for use with a chart plotter, please consider one of our NMEA-compatible AIS receivers or any of our AIS transponders.
