AIS-2 USB and AIS-2 NMEA AIS Receivers
                                                                                   
 
Product Description

The AIS-2 Receiver is a Dual Channel Parallel AIS Receiver. It has two AIS receivers monitoring both AIS channels at the same time and decoding both channels simultaneously . Unlike many AIS receivers that claim to be dual channel the AIS-2 is a true parallel AIS receiver, ensuring that you receive the most up to date positions and information of all vessels around you. 

The AIS-2 is available in 2 different models:
The AIS-2-USB receiver is designed for use with a PC and is powered by the USB port.
The AIS-2-NMEA receiver is designed for use mainly with Chartplotters is powered by the vessel’s 12 or 24 volts DC power supply.

The AIS- 2-USB is compatible with systems capable of accepting standard NMEA AIS sentences, including our PC AIS Shiptracker for Windows software, PC Seamaster for Windows, PC Chartplanner for Windows and Secure Network AIS Ship Tracker software.
 


Installation
Installation is quick and simple. The AIS-2-USB is simply connected to the USB port of a PC and the supplied driver installed from CDROM. The AIS-2-NMEA requires a 12/24vDC power source, connection to a Chartplotter. Both AIS-2 models  require connection to an external VHF aerial ( available as a optional extra).  A user manual is also included.
