Detailed description

This B&G V60-B VHF radio pack + GPS-500 includes the V60-B fixed VHF radio, its Class B TX/RX AIS transponder, and the external GPS-500 antenna required for reliable DSC and AIS positioning. This listing covers the complete kit, reference 000-14819-001, not the radio alone.

Included in the pack

B&G V60-B VHF radio
GPS-500 antenna
microphone
mounting bracket with knobs
flush-mounting kit
protective cover
microphone stand
mounting accessories

VHF, DSC and AIS communication in one kit

The V60-B provides fixed VHF communications aboard, DSC Class D functions, and Class B AIS transmission and reception. It enables the vessel to be visible to other AIS-equipped ships while receiving their route, heading, and identification data.

GPS-500 antenna included

The included GPS-500 antenna provides a dedicated external position source for safety functions. This is the key feature of the pack: the customer receives the V60-B radio with the compatible GPS-500 antenna, without having to purchase it separately.

Marine electronic integration

The pack integrates with NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 networks to share navigation data with compatible instruments and displays. The IPX7 design, bracket or flush-mount installation, and provided accessories facilitate installation on a console, chart table, or sheltered helm station.

For which use?

This pack is suitable for installations requiring combined VHF communication, active AIS identification, and reliable GPS positioning in a single B&G solution. For a radio listing alone without the included GPS-500 antenna, use a separate reference.

Expert opinion

Pol CONIN

Digital Manager

« A communication and safety hub with integrated AIS transponder »

The B&G V60-B is a remarkably integrated communication and safety solution. Its main advantage is the integration of a Class B AIS (CSTDMA) transponder, which not only receives but also transmits the vessel's position. This is a crucial safety factor that sets it apart from VHF radios with only an AIS receiver. The provision of the external GPS-500 antenna ensures reliability, guaranteeing that position data for DSC and AIS are always accurate and available, independent of the rest of the navigation system. Its dual NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 compatibility makes it versatile, capable of interfacing with both modern and older installations. Robust with its IPX7 certification and expandable with the H60 wireless handsets, the V60-B is a reliable and high-performance communication hub for both cruising and racing.

Does the B&G V60-B VHF radio have a Digital Selective Calling (DSC) feature?

Yes, the B&G V60-B VHF radio is DSC (Digital Selective Calling) enabled and compliant with global DSC Class D standards.

What is DSC and how does it work on this VHF radio?

DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a safety feature that allows for the automatic transmission of your MMSI identification and position in case of distress. The V60-B VHF radio is compliant with global DSC Class D standards and has a dedicated distress call button. In an emergency, pressing this button automatically sends a distress signal containing your MMSI and position to other DSC-equipped vessels and shore stations.

Does this VHF radio have an AIS feature and how does it improve safety?

Yes, this B&G V60-B VHF radio is equipped with a Class B AIS transponder. This means it can not only receive AIS signals from other vessels but also transmit your own vessel's information (position, heading, speed) to other boats equipped with an AIS receiver. This significantly improves your visibility and reduces the risk of collision, especially in conditions of poor visibility.

How can I connect this VHF radio to my B&G chartplotter?

The V60-B VHF radio offers dual NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 connectivity, allowing for easy integration with your B&G chartplotter. You can display AIS targets directly on your plotter and share information across your entire network.
