Introduction:
QK-A024 is a compact dual channel VHF AIS receiver and can receive information from both AIS frequencies simultaneously. It can also combine an external NMEA0813 (4800 kbps) data source with AIS messages. This single stream is then synchronously transmitted over Wi-Fi, USB and RS422.
Features:
Two independent receivers that monitor AIS channels (161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz) and decode both channels simultaneously.
Sensitivity up to -105 dBm at 30% per
Range of up to 22 nautical miles.
Powered by USB 2.0 (<270mA @ 5.0V)
NMEA-0183 Message output via Wi-Fi, USB and RS422.
Combines NMEA input (4.8 kpbs only), AIS messages and outputs as a seamless data stream
