Simrad RS40-B DSC VHF Radio, B-AIS

Travel safer on the water with a VHF marine radio

Class B AIS transceiver with built-in GPS. The integrated Class B AIS transceiver lets you see nearby AIS vessels and they can see yours. You can add up to two optional handsets to the system, allowing you to communicate from anywhere on the vessel.

See and be seen with integrated AIS

The RS40-B includes a Class B AIS transceiver that both receives AIS targets and communicates your vessel’s position to nearby AIS vessels. This allows other mariners to spot your vessel regardless of the conditions, day or night. The built-in AIS receiver monitors the position of nearby AIS vessels, helping to avoid collisions in busy ports and heavily trafficked waterways. AIS data can be viewed on the radio display, on the chart or on the radar screen via the multifunction display.

Detachable handheld microphone

The RS40-B radio's detachable handheld microphone can be connected to the front or rear of the radio. With the optional extension cable, the microphone and radio can be mounted separately. This creates an easy and cost-effective solution for installation in any location without the hassle of cables. For example, the RS40-B can be mounted on the ceiling without hanging cables, while the microphone can be connected to an additional socket in the dashboard below.

Expandable with wireless handset sets

By connecting the optional HS40 handset to the system, you can use the radio anywhere on your boat. Each handset displays the radio’s display and controls, allowing you to access all key functions remotely. Up to two handsets can be connected to a single RS40-B radio. The radio also functions as an intercom for your vessel when multiple handsets are connected.
