Easy to install, seems to operate without issue. Most useful was the advice from Milltech regarding selection of the unit and functioning of the splitter.

Q: Would this be compatible with a touch screen tablet (not apple products) that has a GPS app like Navionics or Marine Navigator installed?

Asked by: Nick - 8/21/2018

A: The B300 does not include a WiFi interface so has no way to send AIS and GPS data to a wireless tablet. For that you would want a product with WiFi such as the Vesper XB8000 or the em-trac B360.
Also note, not all mobile apps support marine data via WiFi. For example, Navionics does not work with a network data source. Other apps such as iNavX do work.

Q: Will this work with my Raymarine e series chart plotter?

Asked by: Jim - 11/15/2018

A: Yes it will work. If you have an older Raymarine E or C Series chartplotter, then you would connect the NMEA 0183 output wires from the B300 to the NMEA input wires on the chartplotter. If you have a newer E series that supports NMEA 2000 / SeaTalkNG then you would connect the two together using either NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183.

Q: hi, why does it give no GPS data on the nmea0183 output (to sendit to the VHF DSC)? I use ProAis2. thanks

Asked by: martin claassens - 7/5/2018

A: GPS sentences are turned off by default on the em-trak transponders. To turn them on, connect the device to a computer and use the ProAIS2 software to check the boxes for GPS sentence output.

Q: We have damaged the gps cable near the unit.Can you please let us know the spec for a replacement plug to fit the socket on the unit ? Very pleased with the unit

Asked by: steve evans - 9/20/2018

A: The B300 uses a TNC male connector on the cable which plugs into the GPS antenna port on the unit. We sell this type of connector here: https://www.milltechmarine.com/TNC-Male-Crimp-On-Connector-for-RG58_p_374.html. We also sell replacement GPS antennas here: https://www.milltechmarine.com/GPS-Antennas_c_56.html. Any of the ones with a TNC connector will work with the B300.

Q: I want to add ais to my boat. I prefer power via 24vdc (if possible). looking at your emtech 300 class b. what additional items should I order to complete installation? I prefer a small antenna?

Asked by: Thomas Palmer - 10/3/2019

A: This product will support 24vDC. The B300 includes an embedded GPS antenna so it only requires a VHF antenna and connection to power and any display devices via NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183 or USB.
We offer a range of compatible VHF antennas here: https://www.milltechmarine.com/AISVHF-Antennas_c_55.html
