ACR 2680 Class B Automatic Identification System Transponder

Nauticast™ B AIS
Class B Automatic Identification System FCC Approved

Now FCC Approved

Class B Transponder:
  • Small in Size
  • Plug and Play
  • Transmits and Receives
  • Water Resistant
  • Remote SRM Switch
  • GPS Receiver
  • Programming of boat data is required, including MMSI number, registered name, call sign (if available), boat size, type and GPS antenna mounting location.
  • The FCC prohibits any person from knowingly entering an incorrect MMSI or other static data in a Class B AIS device - Section 31 FCC 08-208.
  • The FCC requires that the static data, including MMSI, be entered by sellers and professional installers of Class B AIS devices, not the end user - Section 31 FCC 08-208.


The Nauticast-B transponder is a plug and play AIS solution. Enjoy the benefits of the AIS system knowing larger commercial vessels are aware of your position increasing your personal safety while navigating at sea.

Unlike receive only AIS devices which do not transmit vessel information to surrounding traffic, the Nauticast-B system allows you to virtually participate in neighboring vessels maneuvering activities for collision avoidance.

Announce your identity, position, speed and course over ground to oncoming traffic allows for increased security that you will be seen in low visibility conditions.

Avoid not being seen because of extreme weather conditions or busy vessel traffic environments. Generate a safety distress message to surrounding AIS equipment, including vessels, base-stations, and possibly SAR teams. All in all, it is a horizon expanding experience; especially in combination with an electronic chart system.

Manufacturer Part Number: 2680

***PROGRAMMING INCLUDED. Please fax a completed AIS Registration Form and a copy of your MMSI Registration to us at 813-343-2330. All units sold in the US are required to be programmed.***

ACR 2680 AIS June 12, 2009
Reviewer: CED from Bothell, WA United States  
I recently installed a full Furuno Navnet 3D system, but did not want to pay the price Furuno wanted for their AIS module.  I was concerned about difficulty interfacing and issues that may arise, but was pleasently surprised the ACR 2680 worked perfectly with my NavNet 3D system out of the box (NMEA 0183)!  It comes with the VHF and GPS antennas.  Only issue I found was both antenna cables were too short.  I could easily extend the VHF Coax cable, but the GPS uses TNC connectors.  Now that Radio Shack only sells cell phones, I had to find a 6' TNC extension cable on-line (www.datapro.net).

Purchasing and programming through Hodges Marine was painless and exceeded expectations in regards to timing!
