Introduction

QK-A024 is a compact dual channel, VHF AIS receiver and is able to receive information from both AIS frequencies simultaneously. It can also combine one external NMEA0813(4.8kbps) data source with AIS messages. This single data stream is then transmitted synchronously via WiFi, USB and RS422.
