Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations require all Class B AIS transponders shipped to U.S. addresses to be programmed with a valid MMSI number and vessel details prior to shipment.
Milltech Marine provides professional AIS programming at no additional charge to ensure compliance and proper vessel identification before your unit leaves our facility.
Orders cannot ship until a completed programming form and valid MMSI documentation are received.
The FA70 AIS Transceiver has multiple ports for simple connection to your NavNet, AIS-capable Radar or Chart Plotter, or your favorite navigation software. AIS information such as vessel name and call sign, position, course, and speed are graphically presented, allowing you to monitor vessel traffic simply and easily. Both models are designed to work with nearly any VHF antenna, and a signal splitter is an available option that allows the unit to share your radio's VHF antenna, making installation simple. The FA-70 AIS receives the vessel name, call sign, position, COG, SOG, and other useful information from surrounding vessels. The FA-70 is a Class-B+ AIS that transmits your vessel information at higher power & faster rates than typical Class B units for added awareness. SOTDMA guarantees an AIS time slot allocation, making you visible in congested waters. The FA70 includes an internal GPS Receiver with differential (DGPS) capability, ensuring that you're transmitting the highest precision information.
