B&G V60-B VHF Radio With Built is Class B AIS Transceiver

See and Be Seen with Integrated AIS
The V60-B includes a Class B AIS transmitter and receiver, which not only receives AIS targets but also transmits your yacht’s position to nearby AIS-equipped vessels. This helps other mariners to spot your boat through any conditions, day or night. A built-in AIS receiver monitors the position of other AIS-equipped vessels, helping you to proactively avoid collisions in crowded harbours and waterways. AIS information can be viewed on the radio’s built-in screen, or overlaid on your chart or radar screen through a compatible chartplotter.

Removable Fist Mic
The V60-B’s removable fist mic can be connected to the front or rear of the radio, and optional extension cables allow the mic and radio to be mounted separately. This offers a simple and cost-effective solution for any mounting location, with no cable clutter. For instance, the V60-B can be mounted overhead, with no hanging cables, while the mic is connected to an extension socket on the dash below.

Expandable with Wireless Handsets
Add an optional H60 wireless handset to take your radio anywhere on board. Each handset duplicates your radio’s display and controls, enabling remote access to all key functions. Up to two handsets can be connected to a single V60-B, and with multiple handsets connected your radio doubles as an on-board intercom.

Man Overboard (MOB) function
Hold down the NAV/MOB button to drop a waypoint on your current location and the V60-B will enter MOB mode to show you how far away you are and where you need to steer to get back to the position of the MOB event.  The MOB waypoint is also transmitted over NMEA 2000 to the rest of your network.

Track up to 5 Buddies!
The Track Buddy feature will automatically requests the position of another VHF radio at set intervals. Simply enter the MMSI of the VHF into your contact list and start tracking! You will be able to see their position in any compatible chartplotter.

Q. Does the V60-B include AIS transmit and receive functionality?
A. Yes. The V60-B features a dual-channel AIS receiver and a Class B AIS transmitter, allowing you to see and be seen by other AIS-equipped vessels. AIS data can be viewed directly on the radio's screen or overlaid on compatible chartplotters via NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183.


Q. Is GPS built into the V60-B or does it require an external antenna?
A. The V60-B includes an internal GPS antenna located in the front panel, meeting both DSC and AIS regulatory requirements. For installations with limited sky visibility, an external GPS antenna (GPS-500) can be connected directly to the rear of the unit.


Q. What connectivity options does the V60-B support?
A. The radio supports both NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183, enabling seamless integration with B&G chartplotters, autopilots, and other onboard electronics. It can also serve as a GPS source for other devices on your network.


Q. What DSC features are available on the V60-B?
A. The V60-B is Class D DSC compliant and offers: Distress calling with GPS position, Individual, group, and position calls, DSC test calls, MOB (Man Overboard) alerts, Track Buddy for automatic position polling of up to 5 vessels. These features enhance safety and coordination on UK waters.


Q. Can I add a second station or remote control to the V60-B?
A. Yes. The V60-B supports up to two H60 wireless handsets, which mirror the main unit's display and controls. This allows full remote access to VHF and DSC functions, and also enables intercom communication between stations.


Q. Is the V60-B waterproof and suitable for UK marine conditions?
A. Definitely. The V60-B is rated IPX7 waterproof, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. This makes it highly durable for the unpredictable weather and sea spray common around the UK coastline.
