Imagine navigating busy waterways or foggy seas where visibility is limited. The integrated Class B AIS transceiver changes the game by letting you broadcast your vessel's position while receiving real-time data from nearby boats. This dual receive-and-transmit capability ensures you're not just aware of others—you're visible to them too. Display AIS targets directly on the radio's clear monochrome screen or share the data seamlessly with your chartplotter for overlaid views, making collision avoidance intuitive and reliable.
For sailors and powerboaters alike, this feature proves invaluable during regattas, coastal cruises, or offshore passages, where spotting congested areas early can prevent mishaps and keep your crew safe.
Equipped with a robust internal GPS receiver and the included GPS-500 external antenna, this VHF delivers pinpoint positioning without relying on separate devices. Switch to navigation mode to monitor speed and course over ground right on the display, turning your radio into a compact yet powerful nav instrument.
The Man Overboard (MOB) function is a standout: a quick button press marks your position, activates MOB mode with distance and bearing readouts, and broadcasts the waypoint across your NMEA network. Pair it with the Track Buddy capability to monitor up to five contacts by entering their MMSI—perfect for keeping tabs on the fleet during group outings or family sails.
Designed with boaters in mind, the low-profile front-mountable unit blends seamlessly with modern multifunction displays. Opt for flush or bracket mounting, and position the removable fist mic exactly where it suits your helm—front, rear, or via extension for overhead setups without cable mess.
Power options of 25W or 1W ensure compliance across international, US, Canadian, and weather channels, including WX alerts. The intuitive interface shines on the large 256x160 pixel display, with favorite channel quick-access for staying on routine frequencies.
NMEA 2000 and 0183 compatibility integrates effortlessly with B&G ecosystems, sharing AIS, GPS, and DSC data network-wide. Add up to two optional wireless handsets for full remote control from anywhere onboard—they mirror the display, controls, and even enable intercom functionality.
Need to communicate with authorities or other vessels? The built-in hailer (up to 30W) and foghorn options, plus loudhailer support, cover it all. Class D DSC handles distress calls and routine messaging with digital precision, enhancing overall maritime communication.
Everything arrives ready for straightforward installation, minimizing downtime and getting you back on the water faster.
From weekend warriors to serious offshore sailors, the combination of rugged build, innovative safety tools, and system integration makes it a go-to choice. It's not just a radio—it's a safety net that evolves with your boating needs, ensuring peace of mind on every voyage.

V60-B VHF Marine Radio with DSC, AIS (Receive & Transmit) & GPS-500 GPS Antenna
See and Be Seen with Integrated AIS
The V60-B includes a Class B AIS transmitter and receiver, which not only receives AIS targets but also transmits your yacht’s position to nearby AIS-equipped vessels. This helps other mariners to spot your boat through any conditions, day or night. A built-in AIS receiver monitors the position of other AIS-equipped vessels, helping you to proactively avoid collisions in crowded harbours and waterways. AIS information can be viewed on the radio’s built-in screen, or overlaid on your chart or radar screen through a compatible chartplotter.
Removable Fist Mic
The V60-B’s removable fist mic can be connected to the front or rear of the radio, and optional extension cables allow the mic and radio to be mounted separately. This offers a simple and cost-effective solution for any mounting location, with no cable clutter. For instance, the V60-B can be mounted overhead, with no hanging cables, while the mic is connected to an extension socket on the dash below.
Expandable with Wireless Handsets
Add an optional H60 wireless handset to take your radio anywhere on board. Each handset duplicates your radio’s display and controls, enabling remote access to all key functions. Up to two handsets can be connected to a single V60-B, and with multiple handsets connected your radio doubles as an on-board intercom.
Man Overboard (MOB) function
Hold down the NAV/MOB button to drop a waypoint on your current location and the V60-B will enter MOB mode to show you how far away you are and where you need to steer to get back to the position of the MOB event. The MOB waypoint is also transmitted over NMEA 2000 to the rest of your network.
