How we calculate scores →About this gear
A legacy Class B AIS transponder for a boat’s navigation system. The CB1 provides NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 and USB connections, with an internal GPS antenna and provision for an external one.
Consider before buying
Its 2 W transmitter and older design should be considered alongside the CB2’s 5 W SOTDMA system. Silent mode stops transmission, so it is important to understand what the connected display and controls are doing.
Our take
Worth researching when maintaining an existing CB1 installation. For a new system, we would start with the CB2 comparison and a marine installer’s advice on antennas, programming and compatibility.
