EM-TRAK Class B AIS Transceiver + High-Power VHF Antenna Splitter – B953
The EM-TRAK B953 is a high-performance 5W Class B AIS transceiver designed to significantly improve situational awareness by broadcasting your vessel’s position and displaying nearby AIS-equipped vessels. Featuring an integrated high-power VHF antenna splitter, the B953 allows both the AIS transceiver and your VHF radio to safely share a single antenna without compromising performance.
- Class B AIS transceiver for transmitting and receiving vessel position data
- 5W transmit power for extended AIS range and improved visibility
- Integrated high-power VHF antenna splitter for single-antenna installations
- Built-in GPS receiver for accurate position reporting
- Compact, marine-grade design suitable for recreational and light commercial vessels
The B953 continuously transmits your vessel’s identity, position, course, and speed while receiving AIS targets from surrounding vessels. Sharing one VHF antenna simplifies installation, reduces cabling, and makes this unit ideal for boats with limited antenna mounting options.
This model is well suited for operators who want the increased range of a 5W AIS transceiver and the convenience of a single-antenna installation, without the need for WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity.
