  • Icom MA-500TR Boat Marine Class B Dual Channel AIS Transponder
  • The MA-500TR is a Class B AIS transponder for Non-SOLAS vessels such as pleasure craft, workboats and small vessels. Your vessel's information will automatically be transmitted at fixed intervals or under base station control. The MA-500TR receives dual AIS channels (Ch. 87B and Ch. 88B) simultaneously and receives both Class A and Class B AIS information.
