AIS transponder (reception and transmission)
AM/FM radio (reception)
Built-in pre-amplifier providing AIS signal gain (typically 12dB) maximizes AIS reception and range
VHF fail-safe functionality to continue transmitting VHF radio even if the power to the splitter fails
Straight forward connection (no configuration required)
Low power consumption.

Description

This active AIS-VHF Antenna Splitter provides a typical AIS Gain of 12dB, while allowing one VHF antenna to be shared between,

AIS antenna splitter for AIS transponder

VHF radio
AIS transponder and
AM/FM radio

Specifically, the A015-TX allows the one VHF antenna to provide the following functions:

Reception of VHF radio, AIS messages and AM/FM radio
Transmission from VHF radio
Transmission of AIS messaging from your AIS transponder
Straight forward connection to the relevant devices

The A015-TX is an active splitter.

This is an important distinction, as, while many splitters cause signal loss, an active splitter actually provides a signal gain for AIS and minimizes VHF and FM/AM insert loss. The A015-TX’s built-in pre-amplifier amplifies the AIS signals, thereby increasing the AIS receiver range and reception.

Features

Feature	Description
Power supply	12V–24V powered
Power consumption	Low power consumption
Connector	Standard SO239 connector for VHF, AIS, and antenna connections
AIS gain	Typical 12 dB
Insertion loss	≤ 3.0 dB for VHF radio, ≤ 0.5 dB for FM/AM radio
Preamplifier	Built-in pre-amplifier (typical Gain 12 dB) providing AIS signal gain and maximizing receiver range
Indicators	LED power and status indicator
Installation	Compact & easy to install
VHF failsafe	If splitter power is lost or fails, VHF radio remains functional with full priority

Fully compatible with all AIS transponders and will maximize their performance.

Please note: The A015-TX is compatible with AIS transponders/transceivers. While it can also be used with AIS receivers, if you require an AIS ‘receive only’ splitter the A015-RX is sufficient..
