GX6500E/GX6000E
4.10 WHAT IS THE RANGE FOR AIS RECEIVERS?
Since AIS uses similar frequencies as a marine VHF radio, it has similar radio
reception capabilities - which are basically line of sight. This means that the
higher the VHF antenna is mounted, the greater the reception area will be.
Reception from Class A vessels that are 20 or even 30 miles away on open
water is not uncommon as their antennas are mounted high off the water. Class
B transponders use lower power for transmissions; therefore you can expect
Class B vessels to be acquired when they are 5 to 10 miles away.
NOTE
The GX6500E/GX6000E does not require a special marine VHF
antenna to receive AIS transmissions. The GX6000 does not transmit
AIS signals, it is NOT recommended to use an antenna dedicated for
AIS operation.
