Unlike standard Class B units, its SOTDMA technology follows Class A transmission priorities, ensuring your vessel broadcasts even in high-traffic port environments. The integrated zero-loss VHF antenna splitter eliminates the need for a dedicated second antenna, and dual receivers decode all DSC and AIS messages including MOB and SART signals. This model does not include Wi-Fi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFCC Programming Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e All units sold in the US must be programmed by a qualified technician.
