For Sale: GARMIN AIS 300 VHF

[konakoma]

This is a demo system installed on our yacht last year and is still under warranty. New at WM $1149. Sell $700 plus shipping Garmin describes as follows:


The Garmin VHF 300 AIS marine receiver combines radio communication and 1 or 25 W of transmit power with multi-station support to give you the flexibility and convenience you need to safely navigate and communicate on the open waters. The VHF 300 AIS comes standard with a two-way hailer system and also is NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000® compliant to offer greater onboard functionality. In addition, the VHF 300 AIS takes advantage of Automatic Identification System technology to help you identify and avoid other large vessels at sea.
Communicate with Confidence

The VHF 300 AIS is equipped with a two-way 30 W hailer system for communication with other boats or deckhands. In addition, the VHF 300 AIS has a patent-pending voicemail feature that lets you pre-record a 15 second message and deliver the message to any Digital Selective Calling radio. You’ll also have the ability to replay the last 90 seconds of any incoming voice transmission at the touch of a button.
Identify Your Surroundings

With the VHF 300 AIS, you’ll get detailed data on your surroundings, regardless of visibility. You’ll have ship identification information, position, course and speed for vessels equipped with AIS within range. The VHF 300 AIS also receives both Class A and Class B signals at the same time to ensure no critical information is lost.
Take Full Control

The VHF 300 AIS is operated via the included GHS 10 handset microphone that allows full radio control from a remote location. The GHS 10 features a crisp 2 in (5.08 cm) LCD display, dedicated rotary key for frequent tasks, and three soft buttons for dynamic controls. The VHF 300 AIS uses the supplied 4 in (10.16 cm) active speaker with volume knob, the built-in speaker on the GHS 10 or an optional third-party passive speaker. Or, add up to 3 optional GHS 20/GHS 20i wireless handsets, allowing you the freedom to move about your vessel while staying in touch.¹
Save Space

With a space-saving black box configuration, you’ll be able to mount the VHF 300 AIS wherever you choose. And with multi-station support, you can add the wired GHS 10 handset microphones throughout your vessel without having to add existing receivers. The system also can be used as an on-boat intercom if you have multiple stations aboard your vessel.
Stay Safe on the Seas

The Garmin VHF 300 AIS provides full NOAA weather alerts and Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) capability via NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 connectivity. Should trouble arise, DSC provides distress calls with the push of a button. And if your boat already is interfaced with a compatible GPS chartplotter, you’ll get mayday signaling and a digital broadcast of your boat’s position. The VHF 300 AIS also features Position Tracking, which allows a mariner to locate and keep tabs on up to three other boats in the area.

Hey - tried to send you a PM but it said you've exceeded your quota for storage... or something like that.

I am interested now... Can you give me a phone number to contact you?

I am outfitting a boat in Tarpon Springs, but won't be there until March 7th. I live in Nova Scotia. Give me a number and I'll call and we can arrange.

[YachtCharterNC]

Surely you boys are smart enough to realize I am looking for a GPS for my husband's yacht. So, I am busted not knowing anything about electronics but I can recognize a bunch of rude A$$ folks. He wanted me to look online for a used Garmin. Thanks for your help

P.S. - F U and F U 2

And just how were we supposed to realize that?...
Where did you said it was for your husband's yacht
You presented yourself as a professional chartering b'ness nothing else, nothing more
That's why we find it VERY funny
And you don't only need a GPS you urgently need a good sense of humor

PS your PS is not very ladylike....

[YachtCharterNC]

Why thank you! My P.S. wasn't meant to be ladylike any more than your answer was in any way informative to me as a newcomer. It's always better to ask a question before dishing out an insult. Oh yeah - it isn't me lacking a "sense of humor" any more than it is you boys "can't take what you dish out!"

So, I didn't introduce myself right and I don't know anything about electronics! Can we put aside this pettiness....and can you help me find a Garmin GPS please. I don't know the particular "number" (but if I need to find that out, I will.)

I apologize for not knowing about this forum, finding it, and possibly posting in the wrong area.

Somebody owes me a drink now! DAY-UM!

Garmin makes dozens of GPS units that start at about $100 for a hand held unit to large screen chart plotter models that cost thousands.

So you really need to learn a little more about what it is you want or need, you budget, whether you want an integrated package that includes GPS with radar, autopilot, instruments, etc.

Try this link for Garmin Chartplotters. This can give you and idea of what to look for. You can also find some handheld marine GPS units too.

No need to be rude. If you're looking for anything, you can just ask. There's also a search function on this forum you can use for research.

Hope this helps.

[YachtCharterNC]

I should just take a picture I guess then and submit it. I really don't want him to know I am trying to buy this. Thanks for the advice on internet sharing. We are not new to yacht chartering but have just built our website so that's good info. and advice. I'm an interior designer by trade (and I guess that showed!)

That is such good advertising for your boat charter business and you chose the perfect place for it. I am sure that hordes of customers will show up for your charter boat with/without Garmin GPS.
