The AIS Class B easyTRX3 transmitter/receiver by Weatherdock boasts the latest innovations: 5 W broadcast power, faster transfer rate of AIS protocols and SOTDMA technology. The AIS transceiver features a rugged, compact and waterproof housing and provides permanent parallel transmission and reception of both AIS frequencies. The device has an integrated splitter, an integrated GPS antenna and a DVBT module. In addition, this version has a DAB receiver for easy access to digital radio stations with outstanding sound quality.
The DVBT module filters and amplifies received frequencies of DVB-T, DVB-T2 and FM radio reception. As a result, no extra antenna is required.
SOTDMA technology improves AIS transmission by organising the free time slots in the AIS transmission process and reserving the same space for the next transmission interval.
Connect to a wide range of devices with NMEA2000, 2x NMEA0183 and USB connectivity. AIS data is displayed in real time on a compatible display. The integrated 72-channel GNSS/GPS receiver provides optimal reception of position data.
Please note that depending on the installation location of the AIS transponer, the integrated GPS receiver may not receive a sufficient GPS signal. In this case, it is recommended to receive GPS data using the separately available GPS antenna.The USB connection to a computer provides the power supply, allowing the device to be easily configured at home. The same applies to the internal SD memory, which can also be controlled and accessed via computer without an external power source.
All AIS travel data, similar to a black box, can be stored on the internal storage device for data backup. With a USB connection to a PC/MAC or laptop, the memory can be accessed or the easyTRX3 can be programmed with relevant ship data using the included software, without having to connect the easyTRX3 to its own power supply.
