B&G V100-B VHF/AIS System with GPS500

The B&G V100-B VHF/AIS System with GPS500 is the integrated marine radio and navigation solution serious boaters and commercial operators depend on for reliable offshore and coastal communication. After years on the water, you know that a quality VHF radio isn't optional—it's your lifeline to Coast Guard services, other vessels, and emergency response. This compact, professional-grade system combines dual-watch VHF capability with real-time AIS target tracking and embedded GPS positioning, eliminating the need for separate black boxes and cluttering your helm with redundant equipment.

The B&G V100-B delivers traditional Class D VHF radio performance alongside AIS (Automatic Identification System) reception that displays vessel traffic, collision avoidance data, and navigational hazards directly on compatible chartplotters. The integrated GPS500 module provides accurate position fixing and heading data, critical for close-quarters maneuvering, anchoring, and emergency situations where every second counts. The system operates across all international marine VHF channels (156.0–162.025 MHz) with DSC (Digital Selective Calling) capability, meaning you can initiate distress alerts or hail specific vessels by their MMSI number rather than broadcasting blind. At 15 pounds, the unit is compact enough for center console or cabin installation without dominating valuable helm real estate.

This system suits fishing charter operators, commercial mariners, and serious cruisers who need integrated navigation and communication in a single, reliable package. Installation pairs seamlessly with B&G chartplotter displays and other compatible marine electronics via NMEA 0183 networking, reducing wiring complexity and improving system coherence. The V100-B handles both calm-water day fishing and blue-water passages, delivering the safety-critical features and redundancy that keep you connected when conditions deteriorate or emergencies arise.
