em-trak B200 Class B AIS Transceiver 5W SOTDMA

The em-trak B200 is a high transmit power Class B AIS transceiver, specifically designed for serious ocean sailors who need enhanced safety through maximum range and transmission priority. Its 5-watt output pushes the AIS signal noticeably farther than the 2-watt output found on many standard Class B units. That extra range gives other vessels more warning time to spot and avoid a collision course.

The advanced AIS engine inside the B200 provides the reliability a bluewater sailor can depend on offshore, where a lost signal or dropped connection isn't just inconvenient, it's genuinely dangerous. A battery backup keeps the unit transmitting even if the boat's main power fails. That's an important detail for anyone relying on AIS during an emergency at sea, when main power is often the first thing to go.

As with all AIS units sold in the US, the FCC requires this transceiver to be programmed by a qualified technician before use. A copy of the MMSI registration or FCC Ship Station License, along with the vessel master or owner's signature on a completed programming form, is required at the time of purchase. Having that paperwork ready before ordering avoids a delay once the unit ships. Explore more AIS equipment.
