Description

Connecting your AS12 antenna either use one antenna per VHF or AIS device, or use with an AIS/VHF antenna splitter to share one antenna between all VHF and AIS devices. We have two recommended splitter options.

- - A015-RX VHF/AIS Antenna Splitter for AIS receivers
  - A015-TX VHF/AIS Antenna Splitter for AIS transponders/ transmitters

Please note: When connecting both a VHF radio and an AIS receiver/transponder to a single antenna, using an appropriate VHF/AIS splitter is essential to ensure proper signal distribution and device functionality.
