EU models only. .0 14 v5 20 ft ra eb D 7F 2 ATIS The Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS) is mandatory for vessels navigating on some European waterways. The system allows authorities to monitor and regulate VHF radio communications by identifying any vessel that makes a VHF transmission. Each vessel is required to have an ATIS-enabled radio on board and is allocated a unique ATIS Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI).
.0 14 v5 20 ft ra eb D 7F 2 7 AIS procedures The marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a vessel location and information reporting system. It allows vessels to automatically share information such as position, speed, course and identity via a VHF radio link. The received details of nearby vessels can be displayed on the handset screen together with closest point of approach times and distances. These details are also sent to the NMEA ports for display on a chart plotter if one is connected.
