Introduction
The easyPOS‘N‘HOOK is a locator beacon designed for fishermen to easily locate buoys using VHF object marking and AIS technology. It helps track buoys that may drift due to currents or adverse weather conditions.

Functionality
The device features a built-in 72-channel GPS receiver that continuously transmits the buoy's position at preset intervals, typically every 3 minutes. The transmission occurs via VHF on customized frequencies, allowing for real-time updates when within range.

Technical Specifications

• Transmission Power: >= 2 W
• Frequency Range: 155.5 MHz to 162.25 MHz
• Operating Temperature: -20 °C to +55 °C
• Storage Temperature: -30 °C to +60 °C
• Dimensions: 130 x 70 x 30 mm
• Weight: 250 g
• Battery Life: Minimum 120 hours
• Transmission Range: Approximately 10 NM

Requirements
To operate the easyPOS‘N‘HOOK, each buoy must be equipped with the device. A Weatherdock AIS receiver (easyRX3) is required to receive signals on the customized frequencies. Additional equipment includes a charging station, programming station, and PC software for data display.

Highlights
The device ensures that only buoys belonging to a specific vessel are displayed on the chart plotter, aiding in the precise relocation of nets and lines. It is particularly useful in challenging weather conditions where traditional waypoint methods are insufficient.

Additional Equipment

• Charging Station
• Programming Station
• Customized Receiver
• PC Software
• Mounting Socket

Conclusion
The easyPOS‘N‘HOOK provides a reliable solution for fishermen to maintain awareness of buoy locations, enhancing safety and efficiency in marine operations.
