_True Heading AIS-VHF Antenna splitter
Exceptional active antenna switching performance.
_AIS-VHF Antenna Splitter
The AIS-VHF splitter makes it possible to share the VHF antenna of AIS systems with the existing VHF antenna. A good solution for sailing yachts or RIBs, where placing of extra whip antennas which must not influence each other, is a problem.
The new True Heading AIS-VHF splitter is improved compared to the old version because there is no more signal loss, due to the applied patent pending, innovative active switching technology as well as lower power consumption.
Due to it’s size and the use of standard connectors, the AIS-VHF splitter is very easy to install.
Should the power supply fail, the splitter will automatically choose the VHF antenna for safety reasons.
The splitter can also be used for receiving FM/DAB radio, which makes this product more versatile.
The product is fully tested and certified to the relevant international standards and product specifications. This makes the AIS-VHF splitter a reliable accessory.
The splitter is compact, waterproof and applicable for all brands of AIS transponders* and receivers
*due to CCR regulations, the use for AIS-inland systems is not allowed).
