Detailed description
Detailed description
The B&G V100 VHF radio system is a modular, "black box" solution designed for discreet and high-performance integration on board sailboats. The main unit can be installed remotely, leaving the helm station clear. This system is scalable, capable of supporting up to four wired and four wireless handsets, transforming it into a complete onboard intercom. The V100 model is the entry-level version of this system, focused on pure VHF communication, while the V100-B model adds AIS transponder functionality.
Modular design and advanced features
The V100 radio is a Class D DSC (Digital Selective Calling) approved system. It incorporates an audio recording function that stores the last 60 seconds of communication, ensuring that no critical information is missed. Transmit power is switchable between 1W and 25W. The system also includes the Track Buddy™ function for tracking the position of up to five other vessels via their MMSI number, as well as dual and triple watch modes. It can be supplemented with an optional loudspeaker and foghorn signals, broadcast through up to four external speakers.
Integration and connectivity
Equipped with NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 connectivity, the V100 integrates seamlessly with existing vehicle electronics, including B&G multifunction displays. This connectivity allows for synchronization of settings such as handset backlighting with other displays on the network. The system is powered by 12V DC. Both the handset and the main unit are IPX7 rated, providing protection against temporary immersion.
Positioning: V100 vs V100-B
The V100 system is the foundation of B&G's modular range. It differs from the V100-B model in that it lacks an integrated AIS transponder. The V100 is the ideal solution for mariners who already have a separate AIS system or who don't require the AIS transmission function. The V100-B model, on the other hand, incorporates a complete Class B AIS transceiver, enabling it not only to receive targets but also to transmit the vessel's position for active safety. Both models share the same modular architecture and VHF communication capabilities.
