Common Question of Digital Yacht AIS100
What is the AIS100 USB?
The Digital Yacht AIS100 USB is an AIS receiver with USB connectivity for compatible computers or navigation systems. It receives AIS traffic data but does not transmit vessel information. Confirm USB compatibility, antenna, software, power supply, and AIS receiver system requirements before installation.
Does it transmit AIS data?
No. The AIS100 USB is identified as a receiver, so it receives AIS transmissions rather than broadcasting the vessel’s own information. Confirm antenna connection, computer software, USB drivers, and display compatibility before using it for traffic monitoring.
Is it an autopilot device?
No. The AIS100 USB receives vessel-identification data and does not control steering, hydraulic pumps, autopilot drives, or anchor equipment. It is not a marine autopilot controller. Verify separate navigation and steering components.
