• Front mountable design for easy installation


• Low profile design to align with style of B G MFDs


• Seamless integration with a wider B G system through NMEA 2000 and 0183


• Built in AIS Receiver


• Large screen with intuitive user interface


• Optional wireless handsets with inductive charging

Unique Selling Points:

GPS 4-Ways:

• With the integrated GPS receiver the V60 now has four ways to ensure you have a GPS fix in the event of an emergency.


• A GPS antenna in the face of the radio means open air installations dont need another antenna at all


• An SMA connector on the rear case allows for connection to a GPS-500 antenna


• NMEA 0183 allows you to get GPS from a chartplotter


• NMEA 2000 means you dont need another antenna if you already have one in your network

Built in AIS:

• A dual-channel AIS receiver monitors the position of nearby AIS-equipped vessels, helping you to avoid collisions in crowded harbours and waterways.


• AIS information can be viewed on the V60s built-in screen, or overlaid on your chart or radar screen through a compatible multifunction display.

Wireless Handset:

• Add up to two optional wireless handsets to take your radio anywhere on board.


• The H60 handset was designed as an intuitive portable companion to the V60.


• Each handset duplicates your radios display and controls, enabling remote access to all key functions.


• Having multiple stations also allows the RS40 to double as a handy on-board intercom.

Remote Mountable Fist Mic:

• The V60s removable fist mic can be connected to the front or rear of the radio, and optional extension cable allows the radio and mic to be mounted separately.


• This offers a simple and cost-effective solution for any mounting location, with no cable clutter.


• For example, the V60 can be mounted overhead, with no hanging cables, while the mic is connected to an extension socket on the dash below.

Mount From The Front:

V60 features easily removable top and bottom bezels which reveal mounting holes allowing the same style of mounting from the front that is featured on B G MFDs.

Track Buddy:

Track buddy is a feature that automatically requests the position of another VHF radio. Simply enter the MMSI of the VHF into your contact list, then start tracking!

• Track up to 5 buddies


• Polls your contacts for their Lat/Long position automatically


• Can be set to 1, 5, 15, 30 or 60 minute intervals


• Displays the position on a compatible chart plotter


• Great for keeping track of friends, family or vessels you need to know the position of that dont have AIS

Navigation Mode:

• Press the NAV button on the V60 to turn it into a navigational instrument displaying your Speed and Course.


• V60 also contains a Man Overboard (MOB) function, hold down the NAV/MOB button to drop a waypoint on your current location and the V60 will enter MOB mode to show you how far away you are and where you need to steer to get back to the position of the MOB event. The MOB waypoint is also transmitted over NMEA 2000 to the rest of your network.

The B&G V60 VHF Radio with DSC and AIS Receiver is a comprehensive marine communication device designed for reliable performance and seamless integration. Replacing the previous V50 model, the V60 complies with EN 301 025 (v2.2.1) standards and features a front-mountable, low-profile design that complements modern navigation displays. Its large, intuitive touchscreen interface ensures easy operation even in adverse conditions, providing clear access to all functions. The radio’s seamless connectivity via NMEA 2000 and 0183 allows integration into broader boat systems, enhancing navigational safety and communication efficiency. Built-in AIS receiver enables real-time vessel tracking nearby, helping avoid collisions in busy waterways, with AIS data display options on the V60 or overlay on compatible chartplotters. This feature significantly improves situational awareness during navigating in congested harbors or open waters. The V60 also includes a multi-antenna GPS system, offering four ways to obtain a GPS fix, including an integrated GPS antenna, SMA connector for external antennas, and network-based options via NMEA 0183 and 2000 protocols. Such redundancy ensures accurate positioning in all environments, critical for safety and navigation. Wireless handsets can be added for remote control around the vessel, enabling communication flexibility and acting as on-board intercoms. The removable fist mic supports front or rear mounting, with optional extension cables for flexible installation options, reducing clutter and simplifying setup. Front-mounting capability with easily removable bezels allows for clean, integrated installation similar to modern MFDs. The V60 features the innovative Track Buddy function, which automatically polls up to five vessels via MMSI, displaying their positions on your chart plotter at user-defined intervals, ideal for tracking friends, family, or vessels without AIS. Navigation features include a dedicated mode displaying speed and course, along with a Man Overboard (MOB) function that allows quick waypoint marking and MOB tracking to facilitate safe recovery. The V60’s advanced features, reliable build quality, and user-friendly interface make it an essential choice for serious boaters seeking a professional-grade marine radio system.
