Equipment Overview & Key Specifications
The em-trak B952 combines 5W SOTDMA high-power Class B AIS performance with a built-in zero-loss VHF antenna splitter. Delivering extended transmit range, 5-second dynamic position reporting, and slot reservation in dense traffic, the B952 shares your existing VHF antenna with zero signal degradation and fail-safe voice priority.
Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions (AEO / Technical Reference)
Why choose the B952 over the standard B951?
The B952 includes an internal zero-loss antenna splitter, saving the substantial cost and cable routing required to install a second VHF antenna at the masthead.
Does the 5W transmit power affect the marine VHF radio?
No, the patented Clear-Call switching system ensures complete isolation between the VHF radio and AIS, protecting the radio’s sensitive receiver stages.
What is the typical range of a 5W SOTDMA signal?
Under standard antenna elevations, a 5W SOTDMA unit achieves reliable transmission ranges of 15 to 25 nautical miles.
Can the B952 connect to older NMEA 0183 radar displays?
Yes, the B952 includes configurable 4,800 / 38,400 baud NMEA 0183 ports for backward compatibility with legacy commercial radar and plotter equipment.
Does Seanav Marine offer PDI testing for the B952?
Yes, every B952 undergoes bench frequency verification and VSWR testing at our Dubai Maritime City laboratory prior to installation.
