Parfait.
Petit boitier costaud, facile à installer. Il faut prévoir en plus :
-une antenne AIS avec son câble en BNC
-une antenne GPS active avec connecteur SMA
-une alimentation 5V USB si on ne l'utilise qu'en WIFI.
Avec une antenne AIS "Pacific Aerials" de 90 cm sur le balcon arrière de mon voilier et une antenne GPS à 8,99€ il fonctionne parfaitement, et j’espère pour longtemps. Les cargos sont captés à 10 milles nautiques, le CROSS à au moins 30 milles. Fonctionne très facilement avec OpenCPN sous Linux et Android, et avec NV charts sous Android.
La consommation électrique semble faible, conformément à ce qui est annoncé.
Ce produit devrait avoir sa place dans les catalogues des shipchandlers...

Works fine
Everything works fine at first time, just Plug&Play.
I've tested with OpenCpn on PC as well as mobile apps: iAIS, Salior and nv charts- works without any problems.
NMEA signals works good via WiFi, USB or RS.
One more feature is NMEA multiplexer, I want to use it to get signal from depth sensor and send all to iPhone/iPad.
Very good product.

ottimo
Compatto
Funziona correttamente
Consumi ridotti
Perfetto come AIS "portatile " da imbarcare quando serve; per chi cambia spesso barca ,trasferimenti , noleggio,e regate.
Consumi ridotti , per renderlo totalmente portatile è stato accoppiato con power bank da 20000 ma con durata di 15/20 ore + antenna "gommino"
Da migliorare :
Manca la disponibilità di un sw QK dedicato per Android/Win/Mac , con una interfaccia semplice ,chiara , rapida (tipo AMEC AIS https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AMEC.AmecAIS&hl=it)
Manca un interruttore on/off

Perfect for both vessel as home device AIS receiver
Super, easy device for showing AIS data on any pc. Just connect the VHF and GPS antenna's, plug the USB and off you go. Via a simple phone loader you have wifi access. I used it together with OpenCpn.
Very content with this purchase

Very, very good all in one GPS + AIS receiver!
This little box contains all you can whish for, real dual channel AIS receiver,
a really good GPS receiver, all sorts of connectivity, from old school RS232
to USB and WIFI !
So you can connect it to everything very easily.
Power is easy just connect it to a USB port and all the fun wakes up very fast.
And all this for a very good price !
I will prolly order one extra as backup :-)
If you are even remotely intersted in AIS and /or GPS, get one !
it doesn't get easier or cheaper than this.

This works great!
I purchased the QK-A026 Wireless AIS+GPS Receiver, an inexpensive active GPS antenna, and an inexpensive VHF antenna.
After I bought this I had really high hopes for it. As it turns out my hopes have been mostly realized. I can connect iNavX on my iPad and MacENC on my Macintosh computer wirelessly and receive GPS and AIS data while the A026 is happily providing AIS target data to my Garmin GPSMap 3206 chart plotter.
I had hoped that I would be able to add one of my other NMEA output devices to the the NMEA in on the A026 but I don’t have any more NMEA ports available on my network. My nav network is actually two separate ones. One is an old SeaTalk network by Autohelm and the other is an old Garmin ethernet network.
Anyway, I am ecstatic with the way this has worked out. I will be installing it permanently when I get a VHF antenna splitter and a way to power the A026 in the console.

Fantastic product
I stumbled across this product while searching for ways to get AIS into OpenCPN with my Raspberry Pi. Not only does this provide AIS, but also GPS and connects to. NMEA 183 and routes that on wirelessly! I can't believe it's all there for a phenomenal price.
The product looks robust enough for a boat, but will still require a nice dry boat locker, so no worries there.
I ordered this on Monday after Christmas and I was setting it up Friday afternoon. Not bad considering it was shipped to Denmark,
That same day I was then down at the chandlery picking up some installation fitting and they were impressed as it seemed to provide everything that their cheapest model did for about 5 times less the price of what they had on their shelves. So all in all, I'm very pleased.
As soon as I see the QK-A031 available I'll be ordering that. The A031 should then give me additional NMEA and SeaTalk hookups. Again something I'd be speeding much, much more if I bought from another suppliers product.
I don't know much about Quark, but I'll be seriously watching their products page and waiting for new marine devices to be developed.
