Trueheading AIS CTRX

The AIS-CTRX is an Automatic Identification System (AIS) Class B transponder with both receiving and transmitting capabilities. The AIS-CTRX makes it possible to navigate and display all vessels equipped with AIS transponders and at the same time be seen by those vessels. Your vessel will appear on the AIS screen of merchant vessels and will so greatly increase the possibility that you are seen in bad visibility!

The AIS-CTRX is transmitting its position once every 30 seconds (or
more often when asked to do so) to reports its identity, position, speed and course over ground etc. to announce the vessels existence.


The AIS-CTRX gives at the same time an accurate position via the built in GPS. It will bring enhanced safety and a whole new dimension to navigation. AIS-CTRX high quality, low cost Class-B AIS transponder provides same functionality and performance as a merchant vessel system but at a fraction of the cost.

The unit comes in a robust, coated aluminum case, to ensure the unit is able to operate in the harshest environments.

With its internal 16-channel GPS it provides all information necessary for navigation. The unit is pre-programmed by us.
