A high performance, versatile AIS splitter that provides high performance and can also work with other manufacturer's AIS receivers and transponders. The splitter provides a convenient and intelligent junction box for VHF, AIS and AM/FM break out points. AIS transponders or AIS receivers can easily be installed with a single coaxial cable to run to each device, with only one cable to your shared VHF antenna.
The unique design means that there is no signal loss associated with other AIS splitters, ensuring that you can achieve full performance from your VHF radio and your Vesper Marine WatchMate or XB-8000.
No adapters or special patch cords are needed, the splitter uses standard PL-259 patch cables. The spitter also uses very little power, it's designed to save your battery power. There are four LED status indicators (Power, VHF transmit, AIS transmit and Antenna quality).
