About the CB2000
The CB2000 is conveniently sized and connects to the NMEA2000 backbone that comes supplied with this package. The unit can be mounted discretely out of sight. It also has an NMEA2000 interface for simple connection to the majority of new AIS-compatible GPS chart-plotters and includes an integral NMEA2000 drop cable with a male mini-connector. It consumes less than 2W power and is self-powered from the NMEA2000 network.
The CB2000 requires a dedicated VHF antenna or a suitable VHF/AIS antenna splitter and an NMEA2000GPS. There is a USB interface for programming and for PC/MAC-based navigation.
Whether you are keeping in touch with other vessels in the area or tracking other boats on a similar course, you will be able to share information between vessels, leading to improved safety. The CB2000 gives you peace of mind by knowing that the vessels around can see you and you can see them!
This transponder radio solution will be ideal for all boaters, including sailing yachts, motor cruisers, RIBS and tenders, indeed anyone who wants the enhanced safety of an AIS transponder and the comfort and benefits it offers.
