Koden PKP-27 27MHz GPS Buoy (Pickpoint)
New Koden PKP-27 GPS Buoy system (Pickpoint) consists of the PKP-27 GPS Buoy, Receiver and Charger Unit.
The buoy position is accurately displayed on your chartplotter or radar display via the 27MHz frequency. The GPS buoy sends information such as Lat/Long, Date & Time, Buoy ID and remaining Battery Voltage. The PKP-27 position can be switched off and hidden from other vessels.
- High brightness LED on buoy
- Compact and light weight body design
- Easy installation
- Transmit Power: 4W
- Frequency Band 27MHz
- Estimated Range +-40nm
- NMEA 0183 4800bps
- Li-ion battery
When used in conjunction with a plotter such as the Koden GTD-120 or a radar display all received buoys are displayed and the trail of each buoy is easy to see at a glance. The PKP-27 transmits information such as Lat/Long, Date & Time, Buoy ID and remaining Battery Voltage. The GTD-120 or radar display will then use that information to calculate the buoy's speed and course, giving you more useful information.
A user defined minimum and maximum distance alarm can be set to monitor the buoys and an alarm will sound on the GTD-120 or radar if the distance of the buoy is too close or too far.
- Each buoy is individually colour coded so that you can easily see information for each buoy
- Tidal direction is evident by the trail of the buoys
- Simply place the cursor onto the buoy for additional information
If you already have the following radars(MDC-5000/5200/5500/7000/7900), you can start using PKP-27 right away* by connecting receiver with the receiving antenna to the radar and put the Transmitter (BUOY) into the sea.
