Yacht-AIS Transponder

Yacht-AIS Transponder is an advanced Development Tools application, categorized under Database Tools, designed to operate seamlessly with various transponder types including Class A, Class B, and Class B CS Transponders. The software, currently at its latest version, 2.2.01, is introduced by Y-tronic and supports Windows XP and Windows 7 operating systems. Users can download the program file, named Yacht-AIS_TRx.exe, directly from the developer's site.

A key feature of this latest version includes the software’s ability to automatically identify the type of connected transponder and offer tailored functionalities accordingly. Supporting inputs of ship static and voyage-related data, Yacht-AIS Transponder facilitates the transmission of predefined context safety-related broadcast messages to all stations. Additionally, it encompasses capabilities to receive both addressed and broadcasted safety messages—such as Search and Rescue (SAR) information and shipping advisories.

Moreover, the software excels in receiving and decoding all broadcasted AIS binary messages, as defined by authoritative bodies like ITU, IMO, and the St. Lawrence Seaway Authorities. It also incorporates an alert system that notifies users of hardware failures and provides options for acknowledgment, ensuring robust and reliable operation.

There are other versions of the program available, specifically version 2.2, which offer considerable stability and functionality but lack some features present in the latest update. More
