AIS Receivers

AIS receivers only pick up transmissions and then decode them for display on a compatible chartplotter or PC-based navigation system or even on iPads and tablets. If you do very little sailing, an AIS receiver will be very beneficial for your own safety and to enhance your journeys on the water.

There are single channel AIS receivers and dual channel receivers. When choosing an AIS receiver, we highly recommend opting for a dual-channel version. These receivers capture all types of AIS data and update the received information twice as fast as single-channel receivers
