Digital Yacht AIT2000 Class B Transponder w/GPS Antenna Includes Programming Fee

The Digital Yacht AIT2000 Class B Transponder w/GPS Antenna is the modern boater's answer to reliable vessel identification and safety at sea. As a seasoned angler and water enthusiast, you know that AIS (Automatic Identification System) transponders have become essential for anyone serious about marine safety and navigation. This Class B unit delivers professional-grade AIS functionality in a compact, affordable package designed for recreational vessels, fishing boats, and cruising sailboats that demand real-time position reporting and collision avoidance without the cost of Class A equipment.

Built by Digital Yacht, a trusted name in marine electronics, the AIT2000 integrates a dedicated GPS antenna to ensure precise vessel location broadcasting to all AIS-equipped traffic on your local waters. The Class B transponder continuously transmits your MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity), course, speed, and navigational status, allowing nearby commercial traffic and other recreational vessels to track your movement and avoid dangerous encounters. The compact form factor measuring 9 x 4 x 13 inches fits seamlessly into tight spaces typical of helm consoles and cabin installations, while the 3.7-pound weight adds minimal burden to boat systems. FCC regulations require that all units sold in the United States be programmed by a qualified technician, and your purchase includes the mandatory programming fee—simply provide your MMSI Registration or FCC Ship Station License and vessel master information during checkout.

Anglers operating offshore, coastal cruisers transiting busy shipping lanes, and weekend boaters venturing beyond familiar waters will appreciate the peace of mind this transponder provides. Whether you're running a fishing charter, cruising the Intracoastal Waterway, or heading out for extended trips, the AIT2000 ensures your vessel is visible to radar-equipped ships and other AIS receivers within range. Installation integrates with existing marine electronics via standard maritime connectors, and the included GPS antenna eliminates the need for external positioning sources when operating independently. This unit represents a practical, cost-effective upgrade for any recreational vessel seeking compliance with modern maritime safety standards and enhanced situational awareness on the water.
