User manual ICOM AH-2B

[. . . ] SOLAS commercial vessels are already required to carry a Class A AIS transponder, so your position will be known by nearby large vessels. Transmitted information by AH-2B is · MMSI code · Vessel name · Call sign · Type of ship SOLAS vessel (Class A AIS transponder) Class B AIS transponder The AH-2B is a Class B AIS transponder for Non-SOLAS vessels such as pleasure craft, workboat and small vessels. [. . . ] Transmitted information by AH-2B is · MMSI code · Vessel name · Call sign · Type of ship SOLAS vessel (Class A AIS transponder) Class B AIS transponder The AH-2B is a Class B AIS transponder for Non-SOLAS vessels such as pleasure craft, workboat and small vessels. Your vessels information will automatically be transmitted at fixed intervals or under base station control. The AH-2B receives dual AIS channels (Ch. 88B) simultaneously and receives both Class A and Class B AIS information. Simple operation The Plotter display looks like a marine radar display. North-up, course-up and range zoom from 0. 125 NM to 24 NM are supported. The Target list display shows all detected AIS equipped vessels and targets. For Europe this is the IC-M505.
