Class B Transponders require a dedicated GPS Antenna, as well as a VHF Antenna or suitable VHF-AIS Splitter. All class B units must have their own internal GPS and can't use an external feed for regulatory purposes, as well as a VHF antenna or suitable VHF-AIS Antenna splitter.
Digital Yacht's GV30 is a combination antenna with both GPS and VHF twin coax feeds. The antenna is fitted with a standard 1" threaded base, so will mount on a variety of deck, pole and rail attachments. The 10-metre coax cables are terminated with a FME mini connector, which makes running the cable easy as the connector is barely bigger than the 5mm cable.
Despite its compact size (height - 190mm, diameter - 75mm), the antenna offers excellent performance as it's specifically tuned to 162MHz (AIS frequency).
