Easy to install and use…
Step 1 – Decide where to put your transponder on your boat
A key advantage of this Class B Transceiver is that we’ve encased it in aluminium – to minimise interference from other equipment. This opens up many more places you can install the A051T, compared to most other transponders.
.
Step 2 – Choose your power source
The A051T Class B Transponder can be powered by a power supply ranging from 12v to 24v. This covers most power sources used on boats, and is a distinct advantage over transponders that are powered only by a 12v power supply.

Step 3 – What do you want to see?
The Class B Transponder will of course broadcast your location – but in addition it also receives AIS signals from other ships in your area and receives your GPS location.
Your A051T transponder has input ports where you simply connect your aerials.

IMPORTANT: Class B Transponder
AIS transponders themselves don’t need to be registered, however, each requires a unique and official 9-digit Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number assigned to the vessel and its owner.
To obtain an MMSI number, you should contact the relevant authority in your country. Different countries have different authorities responsible for this service. If you are not sure, search ‘how to apply for an MMSI in (country name)’
Please Note: The QK-A051T Transponder will allow you input an MMSI number only once.
Please make sure you input the correct MMSI number before clicking ‘config’, as changes are not permitted after confirming.
