Vesper Marine has added alarms for anchor watch, man overboard (MOB) and more to its XB-8000 Class B AIS. The XB-8000 is an AIS platform with upgrade ability, and the most recent update makes it the first AIS transponder that allows users to connect an external buzzer, enabling an audible alarm triggered by an activated MOB device, search and rescue transponder (SART), or emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB). New units include the upgrade.
MSRP: $799
