———-Note on 19th Feb 2021—————-

Here at Quick-Teck, we are always looking for ways to move technology forward and create new and innovative products in an ever-changing market, therefore, we are no longer manufacturing the A022. If this product is something you are interested in, we do recommend purchasing the A024 as this has newer technology, improved specifications, and additional features that the A022 did not have.

[1] Manually adjustable hopping interval rates (0.25 seconds, 1 second, 30 seconds and auto-hopping) Channel hopping will increase the number of messages received, in comparison with single channel receivers. However, part of some multi-AIS messages may be lost, due to the hopping nature of the product. If both the quantity and the completeness of AIS messages is important to you, we recommend the dual channel receivers.
