Description
Zero loss active VHF antenna splitter VHF radios and AIS devices operate within the same frequency band and as such can use the same VHF antenna. The GME AISS120 Active Antenna Splitter permits a standard marine VHF antenna to serve both the AIS device and VHF radio without any degradation of signal. Using advanced signal processing the GME AISS120 is the perfect solution for AIS installations on boats where additional antenna mounting space is not available. Clear Call Routing provides a key safety feature, ensuring VHF radio emergency priority and full operational performance even when power fails. The GME AISS120 AIS antenna splitter is designed to work primarily with class B AIS transceivers such as the GME AIST120, although it will operate equally well with AIS receivers such as the GME AISR120. The GME AISS120 is supplied with the necessary cables to connect to a VHF radio and either the GME AIST120 or GME AISR120.
