Class B transceivers, like the SAS-300+, are designed for recreational and smaller commercial vessels - they transmit at lower power (2W) with slightly less frequent updates, but still provide full receive capability for all vessel types. For the vast majority of recreational boaters and smaller commercial operators, a Class B unit like the SAS-300+ provides all the safety and situational awareness benefits of AIS at a more accessible price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDo I need separate navigation software or charts to use the SAS-300+?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eNo - the SAS-300+ comes with a built-in worldwide base chart so you can start using it right out of the box.
