B&G V60-B VHF Marine Radio with DSC, Class B AIS (Tx/Rx) & GPS-500 Antenna – NMEA 2000

B&G V60-B VHF Marine Radio with DSC, AIS (Receive & Transmit) & GPS-500 GPS Antenna

The B&G V60-B VHF Marine Radio is a powerful all-in-one communication and safety solution, combining Class D DSC VHF, a Class B AIS transceiver, and GPS redundancy with the included GPS-500 external antenna. Designed for cruising yachts, offshore sailors, and performance vessels, the V60-B ensures you can see other vessels and be seen, even in congested or low-visibility conditions.

This package provides maximum reliability by pairing the V60-B’s integrated GPS receiver with the GPS-500 antenna, ensuring consistent and accurate position data regardless of mounting location or antenna exposure.

See and Be Seen with Integrated Class B AIS

The built-in Class B AIS transceiver allows the V60-B to both receive and transmit AIS data, dramatically improving situational awareness:

• Transmits your yacht’s position, speed, and course

• Receives AIS targets from nearby vessels

• Displays AIS information on the VHF screen

• Overlays AIS targets on compatible chartplotters or radar displays

Ideal for collision avoidance in busy harbors, shipping lanes, and offshore passages.

Dual GPS Capability with GPS-500 Antenna

This package includes the GPS-500 external GPS antenna, providing an additional layer of redundancy and flexibility:

• Internal GPS receiver built into the V60-B

• External GPS-500 antenna for optimal satellite reception

• Ensures accurate DSC distress calls and AIS transmission

• Ideal for enclosed installations or vessels requiring multiple GPS sources

Class D DSC Safety & Distress Calling

The Class D DSC-approved V60-B enables fast, digital emergency communication:

• Dedicated DSC distress button

• Automatically transmits your GPS position

• Seamless integration with NMEA 2000® networks

This ensures faster response times during emergencies and improved coordination with nearby vessels.

In the event of a man overboard situation:

• Press and hold the NAV/MOB button

• Instantly drops an MOB waypoint

• Displays bearing and distance back to the MOB location
