Overview

About this product

The AMEC WideLink B650S builds on the WideLink B650 by adding an integrated VHF splitter with its own VHF radio connector, allowing it to share a single antenna with an existing VHF radio. It retains the same SOTDMA channel access, selectable 5 Watt (37 dBm) or 1 Watt (30 dBm) transmit power, 72-channel multi-constellation GNSS receiver with 2.5m accuracy, and data outputs across two NMEA 0183 ports, NMEA 2000 (LEN=1) and USB-C. The transponder is IP68 rated, measures 151 x 129 x 50 mm at 400g, operates from -25C to +55C, and meets IEC 62287-2, IEC 61108-1 and IEC 60945 standards.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is the WideLink B650S different from the B650?

The B650S adds an integrated splitter with a dedicated VHF Radio Connector (SO-239) so it can share an antenna with a VHF radio, plus an additional VHF Tx indicator alongside Power, Error, Tx-off and Warn.

What access scheme does the B650S use?

SOTDMA (Self-Organizing TDMA), as a Class B SO transponder per IEC 62287-2 Ed. 2.0:2017.

What is the transmit power of the B650S?

5 Watt (37 dBm ± 1.5 dB) or 1 Watt (30 dBm ± 1.5 dB).

Is the B650S waterproof?

Yes, it is rated IP68 for waterproof and dust resistance.
