About the CB2000

The CB2000 is conveniently sized and connects to the NMEA2000 backbone that comes supplied with this package. The unit can be mounted discretely out of sight. It also has an NMEA2000 interface for simple connection to the majority of new AIS-compatible GPS chartplotters and includes an integral NMEA2000 drop cable with a male mini-connector. It consumes less than 2W power and is self-powered from the NMEA2000 network. The CB2000 requires a dedicated VHF antenna or a suitable VHF/AIS antenna splitter and an NMEA2000 GPS. There is a USB interface for programming and for PC/MAC-based navigation.
