The AIS700 from Raymarine is a Class B Automatic Identification System (AIS) transceiver designed for use with Raymarine multifunction navigation display systems.  AIS is an international marine navigation safety system that allows participating vessels to silently exchange key navigation information including vessel name, identification, course, speed and more.  AIS contacts can be displayed on Raymarine multifunction displays, chartplotters, radar displays and select instruments.  As a Class B AIS transceiver, the AIS700 not only receives broadcasts from other vessels, it also transmits your own boat’s information too helping you to be seen on other vessels’ systems. The AIS700 is engineered using the very latest SO-TDMA (Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access) networking technology which allows it to perform faster and at longer ranges than d speed over previous generation AIS products.  For ease-of-installation, the AIS700 has a built in VHF-band antenna splitter which allows it to share a single antenna with your current VHF radio.  AIS700 also has its own internal, dedicated 72-channel GPS receiver with external antenna as required by international standards.   AIS700 also supports both hardware and software-enabled Silent Mode.  This allows you to temporarily restrict broadcasting your vessels own data, while continuing to receive updates from surrounding traffic.  Silent Mode can be particularly useful when transiting waters where extra security is a concern, or even in competitive tournament scenarios when you might want to prevent other from finding out the location of the hot bite.  Normal AIS safety broadcasts can be easily reinstated with a few simple touches of the AIS controls in your Raymarine MFD, or with the flip of a switch for hardware-silenced systems. The AIS700 is super-compact for easy mounting inside your helm, in a service locker, or other out-of-the-way location. It can connect to your other onboard electronics using the latest NMEA2000 networking. AIS700 also has a built-in NMEA0183 multiplexer to assist in connecting it to older MFD’s and VHF radio systems. AIS700 also has a built-in USB 2.0 connection that can be used to tie the transceiver into a computer or laptop running AIS compatible navigation software. AIS700 has a Secure Digital (SD) memory slot that can be fitted with an owner-suppled flash memory card for continuous recording of the AIS data stream. Features: Full transmit and receive AIS for enhanced situational awareness and safety Latest SO-TDMA networking for longer range and faster performance Built-in antenna splitter simplifies installation with existing VHF radio antenna NMEA2000, NMEA0183, PC and SeaTalkng Compatible Software or hardware switchable Silent Mode for enhanced security when needed In the Box: AIS700 Class B AIS Transceiver with built-in VHF antenna splitter GNSS (GPS) Antenna, gasket and pole mount kit Power and data cable (2 meters) VHF Radio antenna interconnect cable (1 meter) DeviceNet to SeaTalk NG Cable (1 meter) Mounting Hardware Pro-AIS Programming Software CD-ROM Documentation kit

Your VHF (Very High Frequency Radio) could be the most important piece of equipment in a life and death situation. Keep it healthy, with your boat's batteries charged up in top ship shape. If your VHF radio is a hand-held, keep extra cell batteries on the boat, and note their shelf life. Continually check connections for any battery.   In addition to calling for help in an emergency, your radio can be used for communicating with other boats, bridge and harbor tenders and locks. Some VHF radios have the added feature of being a weather radio.   If you are new to boating and have never used a VHF radio before, there are a few universal terms and features fpr you to understand.    When first turned on you may hear static, the “squelch”. Turn the knob until the static stops. Channel 16 should become your new best friend. It is the channel that is monitored by the US Coast Guard and Marine Units, Conservation Police and Harbor Masters. If you are on Channel 16 and don't have an emergency, any of the aforementioned entities will have you switch to another channel. Some commercial vessels also monitor Channel 70, and as of February 1, 2005, vessels over 300 tons  are not required to monitor Channel 16,  but are required by international law to monitor Channel 70.   Etiquette     Only use Channel 16 for emergencies. Not only for emergencies on your own boat, but also if you see other boaters, swimmers, or wildlife in an emergency situation.   Don't use Channel 16 for hailing other boats to say hello, to inform dock mates that the beer is getting cold, or idle chit chat. You could be preventing someone else from getting emergency help.    Mayday calls are only for immediate danger to lives or to property.    Always monitor Channel 16 while underway.   Commercial vessels can be hailed on Channel 13 if you are concerned about their intention.   When hailing another vessel listen to Channel 16, and when no one is talking, start with three repetitions of the name of the vessel you are hailing. “Moon dog.” “Moon dog.” Moon dog.” Follow with your own vessel's name and station ID. Wait for a response, and then agree to switch to another channel. Always refer to each other with your vessel's name.   When you are finished with your conversation, Repeat your boat name, followed by, “Out.”  Such as, “Moon Dog Out.”  The term “Over and Out” is no longer used.   Before you set sail, do a briefing with everyone onboard on how to use the radio. This includes children.  The skipper isn't always the one who calls for help. Your life may be in someone else's hands. You want them to know how to use the radio.   On some radios, the dials are difficult to read, and the numbers appear in small type. It is a good idea to keep a magnifying glass, a pair of magnifying reading glasses, and a flashlight near your radio.   When calling in an emergency on your VHF, speak slowly and use the NATO phonetic alphabet for letters. “P as in Papa.” Or, Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, etc.   Become familiar with your VHF radio. Read the manual. Try out different settings. Know its features so that no matter what the conditions, you are comfortable calling for help.   The Top Five VHF Recommended Radios *   1.
